AN Isle of Wight teenager has been named in Portsmouth's squad for Saturday's match against Notts County.

Defender Dan Butler, 18, recently returned from a loan spell at Havant and Waterlooville and has been named in a 20 man squad by the League One side.

Cowes-born Butler, a product of Portsmouth's academy, made his only previous senior appearance for the club last August in a League Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle.

Academy manager Andy Awford said: "He has had a loan spell at Havant and Waterlooville where he has done well.

"There was an opportunity to put him in the squad and we'll see how he gets on."
