Right-back Elliott Hewitt has been named in the Wales U21 squad for a friendly against Iceland on Wednesday 6th February at Stebonheath Park, Llanelli. The 18-year-old has previously won five caps for the U21s, who are now managed by former Blue Geraint Williams.

Hewitt told the club site: “Representing my country is a huge honour for me and I’m looking forward to the game.

“Kieron Freeman is in the squad as well. He’s at Derby. We’re mates and speak virtually every day. It will be good to catch up with him and all the other lads.”

Ipswichbusiness added 18:13 - Jan 23 I didn't realise he was an under-21 player. It tends to confirm my belief that he should be given a run in our first team; it's not as if we have that many current internationals at this club these days. In the old days we used to have the courage to back youth.
