England Lacrosse is delighted to announce four overseas-based players have been added to the England 2024 World Lacrosse Men’s Box Championship squad, taking the number of players to the maximum 23.
Cameron MacLeod, Lyndon Bunio, Corey Small, and Jack Royer will travel to Utica, New York, USA for the World Championship alongside the 19 domestic-based players announced in May.
24-year-old goalie MacLeod, who plays in America’s National Lacrosse League (NLL) for Panther City after twice being named a First Team All-Canadian for the University of Guelph (2021, 2022), and 28-year-old left-handed offensive player Lyndon Bunio, who also plays for Calgary Mountaineers, both rejoin the England team after being an integral part of the squad that claimed European Championship glory in 2022.
Box lacrosse veteran and left-handed offensive player Small, who plays for Toronto Rock in the NLL, has over 14 years of professional box experience and, at 37-years-old, brings a wealth of knowledge of the game that will be invaluable during the World Championship.
Queens University of Charlotte Junior Royer is a right-handed offensive player who has scored 111 points in just 40 games since starting university in 2022 and bolsters the England offence ahead of the World Championship in September.
England Head Coach Walt Christianson and his coaching team now have just under three months and five training sessions to fully prepare the team before the Championship begins on 20 September.
England has been drawn in Pool A where they’ll take on USA, Canada, and Haudenosaunee.
