Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Steven Caulker has admitted that travelling to Montenegro with the England team was a "great experience" for him.

It was the third time Caulker was called up to the full squad and, although he did not get given his second cap, he said that he is looking to learn each time he is with the team.

"It was my third trip with the squad and I'm getting that little more familiar with the lads," Caulker told Tottenham's official website. "That's how your confidence grows, when you feel more comfortable you will produce better performances.

"It was a great experience. Of course, I would have loved to get on the pitch, but it's not too much of a disappointment as I know it was a trip for me to learn.

"I took a lot from it, being in and around the senior professionals and they are all friendly and welcoming. Everyone gets on well. We're at the business end of World Cup qualifying and the games really matter. I really felt part of it."

Caulker's Spurs return to action this weekend against Swansea City.
