Gavin Hoyte is hoping a run of form for the Gills will be rewarded by an international call-up.

Last summer the former Arsenal youngster got a taste of the international life with two appearances for Trinidad & Tobago.

And with the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup taking place this summer, Hoyte wants to be a part of it.

He said: “The Gold Cup is a big one to look forward to and hopefully they call me up.

“The tournament has some big teams and is being held in America. I can learn so much from being involved.”

Hoyte played for England under-17s as a youth but qualifies for the Trinidadians through his father, who was born there. His grandfather still lives in Trinidad.

Last summer, Hoyte represented the Caribbean country in friendly matches against Iran and Argentina, playing 20 minutes against Lionel Messi.

The defender was sounded out about a return to the national team earlier this season but decided to put club before country.

He said: “I was just coming back from suspension. I needed to concentrate on getting back into the team at Gillingham and Trinidad were understanding.”
