David Brooks: "I'm committed to Wales"

Sheffield United midfielder David Brooks rules out a return to the England team, and insists that his future lies with Wales.

Sheffield United player David Brooks has ruled out a return to the England set-up, committing his future to the Wales national team.

The 20-year-old played for both England and Wales at youth level, before making his senior debut for the latter nation in 2017.

Brooks has not appeared in a competitive game for Wales and could still play for England, but the midfielder is happy playing for the Dragons.

"I'm committed to Wales and don't have any interest in going back to England," Brooks told reporters.

"I wouldn't be travelling across the world if I didn't want to be here. I've just got to work hard here to get in the manager's plans in the future. I had expressed my interest to Wales, but it hadn't come around at the time when England offered for me to go to the Toulon Tournament. I had no knowledge of being in the Wales squad, and when the squad came out I'd already made plans to go away with England. It was a misunderstanding on the social media front, and I had to fulfil the agreement I had with England."

"Thankfully, after that Wales got in touch and it hadn't put them off that I'd played for England. I spoke to Rob Page (Wales U21 manager) and he said 'Just go away and have a good tournament with England' and come down to a camp with us after. I took to it and it was a special moment making my debut in France."

Brooks has two caps for the senior Wales side so far, and could win his third cap against Mexico in California on Tuesday.
