Jack Rodwell, who has been called into Fabio Capello's squad, has become the first England player to be photographed in a Team GB commemorative Olympics shirt.

The Everton midfielder, who is now in the senior England squad for the friendlies against Spain and Sweden, follows Wales internationals Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey in being pictured in the shirt.

True blue: Jack Rodwell is the first English player to model the new 2012 commemorative shirt

The shirt is not the official Team GB football kit - that will be launched next year - but is a 'limited edition commemorative shirt' that has been created by adidas, the official sportswear partner for London 2012 Olympics.

The emergence of the photos of Bale and Ramsey were controversial given that the Football Association of Wales is officially opposed to Welsh players taking part in the Olympics team.

Rodwell, 20, appears to be nailed on to be part of the Olympics squad - he has been a regular for the England Under 21s, whose manager Stuart Pearce is also the Olympics team head coach.

In the men's competition, the Olympic squads are for under-23s though three over-age players are permitted.
