Greneway coach Terry Graves said: "Nathan is a talented player and his main assets are his coachability, attitude, skill, team play, and size.
"This is a great opportunity for him and the next stage after the Regionals is the national team.
"So this is hugely important because it puts Nathan in a small elite group."
The power forward said he would love to represent England and follow the same path as former Greneway pupil and England under 18 player Nathan Wilson.
He said: "Nathan Wilson is doing very well and he's a really good player.
"I would love to follow in his footsteps and represent England - that would be amazing.
