England football star Phil Foden proved he is just as good at angling as he is at scoring goals when he enjoyed a day's fishing in Oxfordshire.

The Manchester City midfielder took selfies with fans when he fished St John's Pool at Linear Fisheries in Witney last weekend.

And he landed "a number of nice fish using a combination of zigs and solid bags", said the team.

It was not the star's first visit to the fishery between Stanton Harcourt and A415 Witney Road, which is known not only in Oxfordshire but across the UK and offers 17 different fishing spots.

General manager Chris Blunt said: "He’s a good angler and always has time when anglers pop over to say hello to him.

"He's a top lad who loves his fishing."

Phil, 24, is currently enjoying an extended break after England made it all the way to the final of the European Championship.

Sadly the team fell short for the second time in successive Euros, losing to Spain in the final.

And he had a disappointing tournament by his usual standards, starting all seven matches but failing to register a goal or an assist.

His partner Rebecca also gave birth to their third child during the tournament and he briefly left the England camp to be with her.
