Nathan Broadhead had to leave Everton and overcome so much to become new Wales hero

Nathan Broadhead admits leaving Everton paved the way for him to finally make his mark at international level with Wales.

The Bangor-born forward was a regular in the age grade setup with Wales, but, due to a lack of game time with the Toffees combined with injury misfortune, Broadhead had a long wait to make his senior bow for his country.

Indeed, his cameo in the second-half of the Euro 2024 qualifier with Croatia came just 11 days before his 25th birthday, although the outing was well worth the wait as Broadhead netted a dramatic injury-time equaliser to earn Rob Page's side a point against last year's World Cup semi-finalists.
