Great. Pleased for him.
Another one who'll probably get injured.

In fairness to Kian he’s not been injury prone so I have no issue with him being involved with some of the higher quality players.
Good luck, hope he gets some decent game time

Hes definitely improved this year

Fantastic news for Cian Ashford and I wish him well
The question is not his selection but the FAW’s handling of any club’s players when under their care; particularly when they are (or should be) aware of existing conditions

Well deserved, hope they look after him.
My worry is Wales are defensively light and I think they will rush lawlor back for those games.

Like we are down to the bare bones and cannot afford to loose any more players, otherwise we will be asking earnshaw and blakey to find some boots.

I said the same about Ashford. I like him and he’s doing well but I see him in a more central role as opposed to a winger but not as a lone striker in place of Salech.
It’s great news for him I bet he’s really pleased getting called up by his country and it’s well deserved.

100 % happy for the lad same as i was for bagan making the grade with us academy players our own is nice to see ,his position in the team recently he was playing behind salec and scored a few ,his trickery in the box is welcomed as a small player.
