Cardiff youngster in line for first cap after elder brother Rubin is ruled out by injury
Western Mail
|September 04, 2025
CARDIFF City midfielder Joel Colwill has earned his first call-up to the Wales senior squad ahead of the double header against Kazakhstan and Canada.
Wales take on Kazakhstan in a World Cup qualifier at the Astana Arena today before welcoming the Canadians to the Swansea.com Stadium for a friendly next Tuesday.
And Colwill, a junior international at all age grades, will hope he will be able to get his first senior cap under his belt in the coming days.
Tom King and Rhys Norrington-Davies also join Colwill in the squad, with Danny Ward, Jay Dasilva, Joe Rodon and Nathan Broadhead all dropping out.
It comes after a fantastic start to the season for the 20-year-old, backing up impressive loan spells away from the Bluebirds last year.
He dominated in League Two with Cheltenham Town - winning their young player of the year despite being there only until January - before establishing himself in League One with Exeter City earlier this year.
