Zebb Edwards joins up with Wales U18 squad in preparation for this weeks Internationals at Bala Town and Newtown.

Obviously, I'm looking forward to the games. They'll be competitive and its the chance to play for a cup. There'll be a lot of people there and hopefully I can start and play a big part in the games.

We caught up with Zebb for a chat about his selection for Wales and also his season so far.

"Obviously, I'm delighted to have been selected, there were over 180 players that began the trial process. Now we are down to the last 18 and I'm really happy to have been selected. I'm really looking forward to it now."

On what he's looking forward to the most, Zebb added: "Obviously, I'm looking forward to the games. They'll be competitive and its the chance to play for a cup. There'll be a lot of people there and hopefully I can start and play a big part in the games."

Zebb is also the fourth of his family to represent his country, following brothers Kai Edwards (Wales U17, U19, U21, U23), Zyaac Edwards (Wales U18) and Noah Edwards (Wales U18). When asked about this, he said: "It's great for the family and I think it's the first time that four family members will have played for Wales. The family are delighted and very happy."

With Zebb also progressing well in the Airbus system, we asked what his highlights of the current season were: "I think the high point of the season is obviously making my first (Welsh Premier League) start for the first team against TNS. I thought I did really well, I got an assist and have started two more games since and also made more sub appearances."

The full video interview with Zebb is available below.

Good luck to Zebb this week, and also the Wales U18 squad that take on the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday (@ Bala Town KO: 7.30pm) and Thursday (@ Newtown AFC KO: 2.30pm).
