Michael thrilled at Wales call-up

Michael Crowe has been called up to the Welsh senior side for the first time in his career.

The shot-stopper has been named in Ryan Giggs’ squad for the 2018 China Cup, with Wales taking on the hosts in Nanning on March 22 before facing either Czech Republic or Uruguay.

Michael, who is yet to make his first-team debut for Town, has previously represented his country at U19 and U21 level.

“I am absolutely buzzing,” the 22-year-old Academy graduate told iFollow Ipswich.

“I only found out this morning. The coaches told me and at first I didn’t believe them.

“The aim is to go there and impress and then maybe I could get called up again.

“I’ve worked hard and done my best for a long time so now I want to go out there and show what I can do.”
