A FOOTBALLER born and raised in north Wales was once again the star of the show as Wales secured a first win under new manager Craig Bellamy.

After a 0-0 draw v Turkey on Friday (September 6), Cymru continued their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 2-1 win in horrendous conditions in Montenegro on Monday (September 10).

Wales were 2-0 up inside three minutes of the match with Kieffer Moore and Harry Wilson on target.

Wilson was once again instrumental on the night, putting in a Man of the Match performance in Niksic.

Born in Wrexham, the 27-year-old went on to attend Ysgol Dinas Bran school in Llangollen and was brought up in the town of Corwen.

The attacker's goal was the pick of the bunch last night - and is the latest in a long line of fine strikes scored by him for club and country down the years.

From a young age, Wilson's footballing talents were clear to see and the family made national headlines when he made his international debut for Wales aged just 16 years and 207 days old v Belgium in October 2013.

That is because his grandfather, Peter Edwards, netted £125,000 as a result of having placed a bet of £50 with bookies William Hill on Harry to someday go on and play for Wales when he was just 18-months old.

Having come through the ranks at Liverpool, his senior club career has seen him so far star for the likes of Derby County, Bournemouth, Cardiff City and current club Fulham.

The Cymru squad has qualified for three of the last four 'major' international tournaments - UEFA Euro 2016, UEFA Euro 2020 and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Wilson was in the squad for all of those tournaments and has so far earned himself 56 caps, scoring 9 goals.
