🎉 INCOMING: Danny Southworth Gets Surprise Wales Call-Up! 🎉
Imagine getting a random call on a Monday night, and suddenly, your life’s about to change! That’s what happened to Cardiff’s loosehead, Danny Southworth. The 26-year-old answered an unknown number, only to find new Wales coach Steve Tandy on the line. 🇾🇪🤯
“I don’t usually pick up unknowns,” Danny confessed, “but something nudged me to answer this one.” Lucky he did, because now he’s set to become a Wales international this autumn! 🍂🏉
Hailing from Barnstaple, Southworth’s road to the spotlight is a true inspiration. Starting as a No. 8 before transitioning to the front row, Danny developed his skills in Exeter’s Academy and has impressed since joining Cardiff. His determination has him rubbing shoulders with Welsh legends like Gethin Jenkins. 💪
With Rhys Carre and Nicky Smith heading back to their clubs, Danny’s chances of earning his first cap look promising. Though unexpected, this call-up couldn’t have been better timed. His parents, off enjoying Asia, were his first call to share the joyous news. 🌏❤️
Danny’s story is a testament to persistence and answering opportunity, literally. As he prepares to join the talented Wales squad, Danny plans to take it week by week, cherishing the journey and whatever it brings. 🚀
Club coach Corniel van Zyl praised Danny’s impact and consistency, excited for the growth ahead. Whether or not he takes the pitch, the experience and lessons learned in the Wales camp will be invaluable. 🌟
We’re excited to see how this adventure unfolds for Danny. Here’s to new beginnings and making every opportunity count! 🙌🎈
