In November 2008 Geohaghan was called into the [[England C national football team|England C]] squad by [[Paul Fairclough]] for the match against Italy. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, with Exodus playing the full game. |

The defender was quoted as saying: "It's great to be going away with England and I just wish I had been going having scored the winner on Saturday. It's all about consistency and that's something I have always prided myself on. I have been able to get a run of games at this level and it has gone pretty well. I just want to keep it going and then play at a higher level - hopefully with Kettering. I want to play in the Football League and I would love to do that with Kettering. I think the full-time training and playing every week is helping me to improve. But it's a learning curve for me." |
