The 29-year-old has made just one cap for the Three Lions so far, but is keen to add to that.
“I look at the England team now and think, ‘Bloody hell I played with all these players! I was the captain’,” he said in the Daily Mail.
“I honestly feel that if it hadn’t been for the injuries I would have got a lot more caps, but I lost my way a little bit.
“Mr Capello has proved he will pick players who are in good form for their clubs and every English player is thinking if they hit a good run then there’s a chance.
“I’ve had a good start to the season so you never know.
“But I’ve played for my local team and I’ve played for England. Growing up, that’s all I ever wanted.”
