(Reuters) - England manager Roy Hodgson has urged his young international players to move abroad and enrich their football experience rather than sit on the substitutes' bench at Premier League clubs stacked full of overseas signings.

In an interview published on the English Football Association's (FA) website (www.thefa.com) on Thursday, Hodgson made clear he would prefer to see promising youngsters spreading their wings with foreign clubs, but understood the economic realities they faced.
