BIRMINGHAM CITY whizkid Jordan James will be on the trip to Qatar with Wales as the ’27th man’.
Midfielder James picked the Welsh ahead of England but missed out on Rob Page’s main party that goes to the World Cup.
However, the 18-year-old is due to travel with the senior group for experience and will be with them rather than taking a break with his Championship club.
Remarkably, James, who won two Under-20 caps for England, has never even played for Wales’ Under-21s.
He was however named in their squad to face Austria in September.
