Ipswich Town forward Nathan Broadhead has been called up for Wales, ahead of Euro 2024 qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey later this month.

He will link up with The Dragons following Saturday's Championship clash against Swansea.

Wales are second in Group D on 10 points, with Turkey currently leading.

They can avoid the play-offs in March by beating Armenia in Yerevan on November 18 and Turkey in Cardiff three days later.

Dropped points in either game will leave them relying on other results to join already-qualified Turkey at next summer's European Championship in Germany.

"June was a bump in the road," boss Rob Page said of damaging defeats to Armenia and Turkey in the space of four days.

"We didn't like it. We didn't appreciate it. We didn't like what we saw, but we put it right in September (by beating Latvia) - and some.

"We built on that in October and capped it off with arguably one of the best performances that I've seen.

"We have to build on that. It will count for nothing if we don't follow it up."

Elsewhere Cieran Slicker has been called up for Scotland's U21s squad.
