Allen called-up by Wales

Posted on: Fri 22 May 2009

Swansea City midfielder Joe Allen has earned his first call-up for the Wales senior side.

The 19-year-old has been selected by John Toshack for the international friendly against Estonia at Llanelli's Parc y Scarlets next Friday (May 29).

Allen, who featured regularly in Roberto Martinez's Swans side since December, is just one of a number of youngsters selected by Toshack who will be looking to get the Dragons back to winning ways following a disappointing string of results earlier this spring.

Also included in the 22-man squad are Allen's team mates Ashley Williams and Owain Tudur Jones.

"It's a dream come true to have been called up to represent my country," beamed the Carmarthen-born youngster.
