Bellamy announced his 25-man squad for the upcoming games against Kazakhstan and Canada yesterday.

Three Wrexham players received the call-up with goalkeeper Danny Ward, forward Nathan Broadhead and striker Kieffer Moore included.

The trio were all signed by the Red Dragons this summer for a combined total of up to £12million following their promotion to the Championship.

The North Wales outfit, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, broke their transfer record to bring in Broadhead from Ipswich earlier this month in a deal worth up to £10m.

Moore joined from Sheffield United for £2m at the start of August and has already hit the ground running, scoring three goals in four appearances for Wrexham. Meanwhile, Ward returned to his boyhood club on a free transfer from Leicester in early July.
