Sheffield United youngster David Brooks has been named in the Wales squad for their final 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and the Republic of Ireland.
The 20-year-old winger starred in England's Toulon Tournament success last summer, when he was named as the best player at the competition.
Warrington-born Brooks, however, qualifies for Wales through his Wrexham-born mother, and switched allegiance in August when he was named in Rob Page's Under-21 squad.
Brooks has only started three league games for the Blades, but is highly rated at Bramall Lane and impressed in the 4-2 Steel City derby victory over Sheffield Wednesday last Sunday.
Jazz Richards and James Collins are both absent with injuries, while Preston North End goalkeeper Chris Maxwell wins his first call-up as he replaces Barnsley's Adam Davies in the 23-man squad.

Chris Coleman's charges face Georgia away on October 6 and the ROI in Cardiff on October 9.
