Fleetwood - Wes Burns
Thu May 04, 2017 8:48 pm
Wes Burns came on as a sub in Fleetwood's 1-0 defeat at Bradford City away in the 1st leg of the Div One play-off semi.
I didn't realise he is a Cardiff lad, well went to school in Barry.
He's 22.
Hopefully he will get a start in the 2nd leg and a chance to get a good look at him.
Previously he has played for Bristol City, Cheltenham, Oxford U and Aberdeen.
Wiki
Educated at Ysgol Gyfun Bro Morgannwg in Barry, Burns is a fluent Welsh speaker. He started his youth career at Cardiff City, but failed to earn an under-16 contract. He was swiftly picked up by Bristol City, which kick-started a rapid rise through their youth team. He signed his first professional contract on 18 December 2012 on a two-and-a-half-year deal, and made his professional debut coming on as a substitute against Leeds United on 19 January 2013.
In January 2013 Burns, aged 18, was named in the Wales Under-21 squad versus Iceland on 6 February 2013. He made his debut as a second-half substitute and scored the first goal in the 3–0 win. He earned his second under-21s cap in a win over Moldova on 22 March 2013.
On 6 October 2015, Burns received his first call up to the senior Wales side for UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Andorra as a replacement for the injured David Cotterill. In May 2016, Burns was among twenty-nine players to be called for the club's training squad ahead of UEFA Euro 2016. However, Burns didn't make it to the 23 man squad for the UEFA Euro 2016. Despite this, Burns said he would follow Wales matches in the UEFA Euro 2016.
