Raya, Pickford and Wales’ search for a new keeper
According to BBC Sport, Wales head coach Craig Bellamy has called up 20-year-old Joe Duncan to the national squad in his search for the next generation of goalkeepers. Duncan, currently on loan at Southend United from Bristol City, was selected due to a lack of young options in the Welsh setup. Bellamy highlighted the success of goalkeepers like David Raya and Jordan Pickford, who built their careers through non-league loans, arguing that such experience is vital for development. Bellamy noted that with current regulars Karl Darlow and Danny Ward reaching the latter stages of their careers, he is forced to look further afield to secure the future of the position.
