The former AM Soccer youth has made the breakthrough into the Dundee United first team this season.

His terrific form was rewarded on Tuesday morning with a selection for the Scotland Under-21 squad for the upcoming UEFA European Under-21 Championship Qualifiers versus Croatia (Tynecastle, Friday 27 March) and Greece (Theodoros Vardinoyannis, Tuesday 31 March).

Louis has played 33 times this season, 23 starts and ten substitute appearances, scoring six goals.

His first league goal for the club came in the 6-2 victory over Dundee in August, and his latest was in the recent 2-1 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

After spending the end of last season on loan at Broughty Ferry in the East Region Juniors, Louis returned to the Tannadice club during the summer before muscling his way into boss Robbie Neilson’s first team squad.
