Newcastle United teenager Mackenzie Heaney has found himself in the middle of an international tug of war between England and Scotland.

The 15-year-old attacking midfielder has already played for Scotland at youth level.

But he is already a hot prospect winning a boot deal with Nike and represented by Triple S Sports and Entertainment Group’s Paul Stretford and Kenneth Shepherd, who also look after England and Manchester United star Wayne Rooney and Newcastle number 1 Tim Krul.

Having played for Scotland in the Sky Sports Victory Shield, Heaney was fancied by the SFA to work his way through the ranks.

However, the Geordie boy from Walker is still eligible to play for the Three Lions and has taken his chance with Dan Micciche’s squad for the game with Belgium.

Heaney hopes to be the next success story at United and winning an England call-up is another feather in his cap.

Heaney isn’t the first Geordie to be in this position after a young Andy Carroll was wanted by the Scots in 2009.

But Carroll - who qualified through his grandparents for Scotland - always wanted to play for England.
