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.
