Matty Cash has been given a new name after receiving his Polish citizenship and could make his international debut next month.
The Slough-born right-back has pledged his international career with Poland as he has Polish roots on his mother's side.
He was present at the Polish embassy in London last week to complete the necessary documentation for the new citizenship.
Cash was quickly granted citizenship and, as a result, took on a new Polish name - Mateusz Gotowka.
The Aston Villa star thanked Polish President Andrzej Duda for his support.
"Thank you Mr. President, it is an honor and an extremely important moment for me and my family. I will give my best on the field," Cash originally wrote.
Cash also posted a statement after confirming his switch from England to Poland.
"This is a very important day for me and my family. My application for Polish citizenship has been approved by the Polish authorities."
"I want to thank the president, my family and other people who helped me in this. Time for new challenges, I will do my best for this country", he wrote on Twitter. /Telegraph/
