Wales have called up Hull goalkeeper Boaz Myhill for the first time in their squad to play Luxembourg in a friendly on March 26.
The 25-year-old former Aston Villa trainee was born in California, brought up in England and has a Welsh mother from Llangollen.
He has triple qualifications - but after hedging his bets on several occasions - and having already played for England Youth - he has decided to throw his lot in with John Toshack's squad.
Toshack said: "We have been trying to persuade him to play for us for a long time, and on a couple of previous occasions he has held back.
"He can play for three countries, but maybe his Welsh mum has had a word."
Toshack has picked an experimental squad for the friendly in the Stade Josy Barthel stadium - including Doncaster pair Steve Roberts and Brian Stock.
Roberts has one cap, three years ago against Hungary - while Stock has played for the under-21s. Stockport defender Ashley Williams also comes in for the first time, while Portsmouth's Richard Duffy also wins a recall.
Swansea midfielder Owain Tudur-Jones, so unlucky with injuries over the past three seasons, also gets a call-up.
Toshack, however, maintains that the under-21s' UEFA championship qualifier in Bosnia on the same night is more important - because the youngsters have a great chance of qualifying for the finals in Sweden 2009.
It means that senior internationals Wayne Hennessey and Chris Gunter have returned to the under-21s to boost the chances of Brian Flynn's side.
Wales squad to play Luxembourg, at the Stade Josy Barthel stadium, March 26: Myhill (Hull), Price (Derby), Duffy (Portsmouth), Eardley (Oldham), Morgan (Peterborough), Nyatanga (Derby), Ricketts (Hull), S.Roberts (Doncaster), A.Williams (Stockport), Crofts (Gillingham), A Davies (Nottingham Forest), S Davies (Fulham), D Edwards (Wolves), Fletcher (C.Palace), Tudur-Jones (Swansea), Koumas (Wigan), Ledley (Cardiff), Stock (Doncaster), Cotterill (Wigan), Easter (Plymouth), Eastwood (Wolves), Nardiello (Barnsley).
