Broadhead: An Amazing Feeling - Ipswich Town News

Blues forward Nathan Broadhead said it was an “amazing feeling” to score his second international goal back at one of his former clubs Wrexham as Wales beat Gibraltar 4-0 in a friendly.

Broadhead, who was winning his sixth cap, netted the game’s third goal 10 minutes before half-time.

"A solid win, that’s the main thing going into these games, to get the win, so happy with it,” the 25-year-old told S4C afterwards.

Following a spell with hometown club Bangor City, Broadhead spent time at Wrexham before moving to Everton as a 10-year-old.

"To come back to the Racecourse, where I started my career, [and score] is an amazing feeling,” he said.

Broadhead is becoming an increasingly important player for Wales, despite only making his goalscoring debut as a sub in the away Euro 2024 qualifier in Croatia in March.

"I think getting a pre-season for myself was massive,” he added. "To get goals is the main thing for me, create goals and hopefully I can do that for Wales.”

Wales play the return game against the Croats at the Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday with a win giving their qualification hopes a significant boost.

"All the lads want to get a result,” Broadhead continued, "That’s what we’re trying to do from the next game, that’s the main thing.”
