The Stoke City defender has been overlooked by the national team since his debut in 2012 but has no intention of trying to force his way out of the Britannia Stadium
Ryan Shawcross has no plans to leave Stoke City to force his way back into the England squad.
The centre-back has one senior international cap, won in a friendly against Sweden in 2012, but has been unable to add to that tally despite his consistent performances for the Potters.
Asked by Sky Sports News whether a move away from the Britannia Stadium would improve his England chances, however, Shawcross replied: "I don't know; you'd have to move to see.
"I feel like I'm playing well enough to get in the squad but, unfortunately, I've not been picked. There are a lot of good centre-halves out there so it's going to be difficult but all I can do is my stuff on the pitch.
"Hopefully, if I play well enough, I'll get back in that squad and, if not, then I've tried my hardest and hopefully played well.
"In football you never know - a team might come in and make an offer, the club might accept it and then you've got a decision to make but, until Stoke City accept an offer, I'm a Stoke City player.
"I'm very happy, I've got three years left on my contract and it looks like I'll be seeing them out.
"Obviously every player wants to play at the highest level and that's European football. I would love to play at that level. Hopefully Stoke come on and they get in Europe."
