Keyo a surprise inclusion in European squad

RYAN Wade was a surprise inclusion in a 17-man Airbus squad submitted to Uefa for the upcoming Europa League ties with NK Lokomotiva.

He has started 64 WPL games, scoring 17 goals with his volley against Port Talbot last season one of the nominations for goal of the season.

The European squad is: Jordan Barrow, Chris Budrys, James Coates, Ricky Evans, Tom Field, Tony Gray, Ellis Healing, Andy Jones, Keighan Jones, Matty McGinn, Jay Owen, Lee Owens, Mike Pearson, Wayne Riley, Jonny Spittle, Ryan Wade and Ryan Wignall.
