Ipswich Town goalkeeper Lewis Price has admitted his surprise at being called up into the full Welsh squad for their world cup qualifiers against Austria.

The 20-year-old who warms the bench at Portman Road and has previously established him self as the Welsh under 21 goalkeeper and now intends to do what he can to wrestle the number 1 jersey off Paul Jones.

Price: “It did take me by surprise, I wasn't expecting it at all really because I thought you need to be playing regular first-team football to have a chance at that level, but it's a great chance for me to work with some top class players and learn from the experience.

“Having been given the chance to show what I can do, I want to take it and really try and push on and hold down a regular place in the squad.”

Price is youngest of the three ‘keepers in the squad with Paul Jones turning 38 next month and Danny Coyne is 31
