Dunkerley, a former Denbigh Town junior and granddaughter of Club President Clwyd Williams will be available for selection in a double header against Scotland.

“We are so proud of Grace” said Williams.

”She has worked and trained so hard to achieve what she's done.

“From when she started playing for the Denbigh girls team at the age of 10 she has been so dedicated and focused on her football.

“We were thrilled when we found out that she has been selected for the Welsh under 19’s squad to play against Scotland and then to be asked to sign on for TNS in the Adran Premier League”.

Dunkerley began her footballing journey with her hometown club Denbigh before spells with Wrexham and Penrhyn Bay. She joined the FAW North Girls Academy before recently signing for The New Saints in Wales’ top flight. She made her top-flight debut on Sunday as a substitute away at Aberystwyth.

Dunkerley has previously represented Wales at Under-16 and Under-17 level, she last represented Wales in April 2022 for the latter in a friendly against Finland.

The Under-19s are building towards Round 2 of the UEFA Women’s Under 19 Championship where they will face North Macedonia, Lithuania and hosts Moldova in Group B1.

Her sister, Erin Dunkerley is also involved in the game, currently studying at Northwest Community College in Nebraska and representing Northeast Hawks.

Congratulations, Grace!
