Academy Head of Coaching David Hughes said: “It is excellent to see the individuals gain recognition of their progress with an international call up.

"To see seven academy boys selected to represent Wales provides a sense of undoubted pride for the boys themselves, the parents and the Football Club.

"The Victory Shield will greatly enrich their development by providing a different learning experience over the coming 10 days. Good luck to all selected and Wales during the tournament in Belfast.”

Good luck, Bluebirds!
