A statement read: "We’ve been working with the Gibraltar FA and TNS in the recent past regarding Caitlin and potential international duty and are delighted that they have chosen to call her up for this Autumn camp.
"We are so proud of Caitlin and knew that the 16 year old spotted on a muddy pitch all those years ago playing for the Stoke City development side was destined for greater things.
"Her desire to win and her natural understanding of the game is what stands her apart from so many players as is the quality of her set piece delivery and her sweet ball striking.
"This is going to be so exciting for her and us as we go on this journey together.
"We want to say a big thanks to numerous people including Shauna Duffy, TNS, the Gibraltar FA and everyone else involved for all their support and communication in the background leading up to this announcement.
"That will continue to make sure that both TNS and Gibraltar get the best of Caitlin."
