The 26-year-old Kieffer Moore scored 17 goals as the Tykes won promotion from Sky Bet League One this season.

Barnsley striker Kieffer Moore has been called up to Wales' training squad ahead of next month's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Croatia and Hungary.

Torquay-born Moore – whose grandmother came from Llanrug, near Caernarfon – joins several other unfamiliar names at the Algarve training camp from May 22-28, but injured pair Aaron Ramsey and Ethan Ampadu both miss out.

Juventus-bound Ramsey has not played since April 18, when he suffered the hamstring injury which prematurely ended his Arsenal career and sees him miss the Gunners' Europa League final date with Chelsea.

Ramsey could yet feature next month as Wales manager Ryan Giggs names his squad for the qualifying matches on May 29.

Liverpool attacker Ben Woodburn and Tottenham defender Ben Davies will definitely return after their involvement in the Champions League final, which rules them out of the Portugal trip.

Giggs has taken the opportunity to introduce some new blood in the absence of a number of key players, although Real Madrid striker Gareth Bale will be present in the 26-man party.

Moore, 26, has spent most of his career in the lower leagues, but he did play for Norwegian top-flight side Viking in 2015.

He scored 17 league goals this term as Barnsley won promotion to the Sky Bet Championship, despite missing more than two months of the season between February and April after suffering concussion.

Owen Evans, Dylan Levitt and Nathan Broadhead will also travel to Portugal after playing for Wales' youth teams over the past 12 months, and Wolves teenager Terry Taylor, 17, is also included.

The Aberdeen-born midfielder has been capped by Wales at Under-15 level and Scotland at Under-17 level.
