Rhys Healey

Is Rhys Healey eligible for Wales? I ask because he started his career in the Welsh Prem, and FIFA (the sports game) have him listed as Welsh, but I read he was born in England and he has no youth caps for either nation.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything.

I've asked the same question on the boards myself. I will chase it up.

I think he was born in Manchester,he can play for Wales through residency, been resident here for over 5 years. BUT an agreement with the home nations has stopped this, for anyone born in any of the home nations playing for another home nation,unless through family ties.
There have been a load of welsh players who had no links to wales, but were born abroad and held a British passport,which enabled them to play for any of the home nations.

Yeah....I just checked with an official and he doesn't qualify. Shame!

He has a Welsh Mum. My mate said he read it in a Newport County match day programme, when they did a Q & A with him.

Also randomly, Jack Grealish (former Republic of Ireland youth now declared England) could play for Wales due to his Welsh Grandmother. True story.
