Woodburn puts an end to England tug-of-war debate

LIVERPOOL wonderkid Ben Woodburn has put an end to any lingering hopes England had of luring him away from Wales by insisting he’s never even considered ditching the Dragons.

And, in what should be the final say in the tug-of-war headlines over his international future, the teenage talent has outlined his love of playing for the land of his grandfather.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo following Liverpool’s end-of-season friendly in Sydney, 17-yearold Woodburn revealed: “My mum’s dad is Welsh and ever since I started with Wales they have been great to me.

“I knew all the lads there and the coaches make it so welcoming. Ever since then I’ve wanted to play for Wales.

“I like it there, I love playing for Wales and I don’t want to be anywhere else. I didn’t really consider switching.”
