Hatch and Issaka Called Up For Under-17 Euros

Freddie Issaka and Joe Hatch have been called up for the Wales squad for the upcoming European Under-17 Championships. 

The two Argyle Academy prospects have played their part in Wales' historic route to the finals, the first age-group qualification for the nation since 1981. 

The 16-team tournament will take place in Hungary, with Wales meeting the hosts in their first game, in Budapest, on Wednesday, 17 May. 

The Young Dragons will follow this with group-stage games against Ireland on Saturday, 20 May, then against Poland on Tuesday, 23 May. 

The top two teams in each group will qualify for the quarter-finals. 

Argyle Academy Manager Phil Stokes said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for Joe and Freddie to further their footballing education, and experience international tournament football. I am delighted for them both. 

"I hope they savour the occasion, enjoy it, and progress as far in the tournament as they can."
