Sheffield United: David Brooks makes a pledge over his international future with Wales
The Warrington-born youngster could still switch allegiance back to England as his two caps to date both came in friendlies.
But after Brooks, and his United teammate Lee Evans, jetted to Los Angeles ahead of Wales’ clash with Mexico in California today, the youngster said: “I’m committed to Wales. I’m not looking or have any interest in going back to England.

“I’ve just got to work hard here to get in the manager’s plans in the future.
“Going away with England was a good stepping stone for my career but I always wanted to play for Wales and thankfully I got the opportunity.”
Meanwhile, United celebrated yesterday when it was confirmed that their ladies side’s bid for WSL2 status had been successful.
