Midfielder Angharad James will captain Wales in Friday’s Euro 2025 qualifier against Ukraine in Llanelli.

The Seattle Reign player, who will win her 119th cap at Parc y Scarlets, says it is an “honour” to lead the team out but will support another captain if she does not get the role on a permanent basis.

Manager Rhian Wilkinson says “many players” will wear the armband before she makes a final decision, something James supports:

“It’s one of the biggest honours to captain your country, to lead the girls out”, said James, 29.

“It’s a proud moment for me and my family but it doesn’t change anything for me.”
