Norwich academy Under-16s goalkeeper Jed Steer followed in the footsteps of Robert Green, Joe Lewis and Declan Rudd when he was called by England's Under-16 squad for the Vicory Shield international against Northern Ireland at Blackpool on October 11th 2007 with the game being covered live by Sky Sports.

Jed Steer flew out to France with the England Under-16 squad on Monday 17th March 2008 to take part in the Montaigu tournament. England's group games in the tournament are against Japan on Wednesday 19th March, Germany on Thursday 20th March and USA on Easter Saturday. Jed kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win against Germany on Thursday. Although England lost 1-0 to the USA with Adam Davies (Everton) in goal, an earlier victory against Japan was enough to see England joint top of their group together with Germany. Both teams finished with exactly the same record but England's victory over the Germans gave the Young Lions the spot in the final.

Steer was the English hero when he produced the matchwinning save in a penalty shoot-out as England beat hosts France 5-4 in the final on spot-kicks after a goalless draw.England netted all five of their spot-kicks through skipper José Baxter, Ryan Tunnicliffe, Jonjo Shelvey, Emmanuel Frimpong and Ezekiel Fryers to win the game and add a second honour for the season after lifting the Victory Shield last November. Germany sealed third place in the competition after beating Ivory Coast on penalties.

In August 2008, Jed was called up to the England Under-17 squad, even though he is only 15, for an international tournament against Israel, Italy and Portugal.
