He&#8217;s also played for Wales at\u00a0under-17 and under-18 levels.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Speaking to official club channels about the move, he said: &#8220;I&#8217;m happy to be here. It&#8217;s good to get the deal done and I can&#8217;t wait to get started.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to pre-season, I want to get settled down in the club and get underway as quickly as possible and work hard.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;This season\u00a0I just want to get as many minutes as I can, push myself as much as possible, then of course first team is always the goal. I&#8217;ll take all the opportunities I can.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Playing for Wales was an amazing experience, I went to the Under-17s Euros in Cyprus. That was probably the best experience of my life, being around top players in Europe, Chido Obi\u00a0for example. That was a fantastic experience.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  City&#8217;s under-21s kick off their pre-season campaign next Tuesday when they travel to face Colchester United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He&#8217;s agreed a two-year deal with a club option to extend by a further 12 months.
