John Ruddy says that he wants to get another chance to play for England after his Euro 2012 heartbreak.

Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy has revealed that he is hoping to receive another chance on the international stage.

The 25-year-old was called up by Roy Hodgson to be a part of the England squad for Euro 2012 but was ruled out of the tournament with a broken finger.

However, Ruddy is confident that he will get another opportunity to prove himself for his country.

"[The injury] was just one of those things and could have happened at any time during the season, but it happened with England, which is a positive in itself," said Ruddy.

"We will take it into next season and hopefully if I maintain my level of performances, then I will be back in the England squad again.

"Because last time was cut short after just a few days, I probably do want it more than at the start of last season. We looked to have a solid base at the Euros, and now if we can get the goals flowing like we can, then it will stand us in good stead for the World Cup qualifiers coming up."

Ruddy signed a new four-year deal with the Canaries earlier this summer.
