Simon Church: Battle for squad places "competitive"

Church: Battle for squad places "competitive"

Simon Church has conceded that he is not guaranteed a place in the Wales squad for Euro 2016.

The striker came off the bench to score a late penalty in this evening's 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland.

However, despite his rescuing act in Cardiff, the frontman admitted that he faces plenty of competition to feature in France.

"It was nice to get the equaliser, it was a tough game," he told BBC Sport.

"It was the last time fans will see us before the Euros so we wanted to put on a good performance.

"All I have to do is keep playing well and we will see [if I make the squad]. It's competitive."

The goal was the third that Church has scored at senior international level.
