CARRIE Jones and Ceri Holland will help form part of the Welsh squad to take on the USA next month.
Manager Gemma Grainger has announced her 22-player Cymru squad to face the current FIFA Women’s World Cup Champions in California on Sunday 9 July.
The match will be the first time the Cymru women’s team will play outside of Europe, and the first time they will face the four-time world champions.
Newtown raised Manchester United midfielder Carrie Jones and Liverpool's Holland, who qualifies for Wales through her Llanrhaeadr born mother, are included.
