Johnson says definitely more to come after 50 caps

Brennan Johnson says he is happy with what he has achieved in football but would like to reach more major tournaments with Wales.

As he prepares to reach a personal milestone, Brennan Johnson says he is happy with what he has achieved in football - but would like to reach more major tournaments with Wales.

The 25-year-old forward is set to make his 50th appearance against Norway in the Nations League on Saturday, becoming the third-youngest Welshman to reach the landmark after Ethan Ampadu and Chris Gunter.

Johnson has one major tournament under his belt – the 2022 World Cup - having missed out on selection for Euro 2020.

Wales failed to make this summer's World Cup, but have huge incentive to qualify for Euro 2028 with Cardiff named as one of eight host cities.

"Even when I think about having a Euros here now, it is special," said Johnson.

"We've got a good squad and a lot of players playing at a good level. Everyone knows it's coming up and it motivates us to work hard and show what we can do."
