He has made three appearances for England. Making his debut in the 16-12 defeat to Australia in the 2014 four nations. Whilst his last international appearance was in a 16-17 defeat to New Zealand in the 2016 four nations.
Sarginson was named in both squads last year for England’s clashes with France and the Combined Nations All Stars but did not feature in the matchday squad.
Former Salford players Niall Evalds and Stefan Ratchford have also been named in the squad. Both will be battling for the fullback spot at the World Cup.
