Laura Hughes: New Wales cap proud after ‘challenging but enjoyable’ week

Melbourne City’s Hughes is eligible to represent Wales through her Welsh mother, who hails from Porthcawl.

Hughes regularly visited Wales during her childhood and felt the opportunity to represent Rhian Wilkinson’s side was one she could not turn down.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in Wales growing up, mainly in Porthcawl, and it’s a really lovely community there,” she added.

“International football is hard to come by sometimes. If you get an opportunity somewhere, you might as well take it.

“A football career is so short, so I thought if I could have an opportunity of playing for a country I’m really proud to represent – my mum being from there and having a lot of family there – I thought why not take that opportunity.”
