The nine group winners qualify for the 12-team finals in Poland with the four best second-placed sides going into two-legged play-offs.

Wales face Denmark at Wrexham on Friday, September 2, and Luxembourg in Bangor on Tuesday 6, both kicking off at 5.00.

The squad also includes former Town centre-back Joe Wright, now at Doncaster Rovers.

Charles, the 20-year-old grandson of Welsh footballing legend John Charles, has six Under 21 caps.

He has also played at Under 16, 17 and 19 level.

Charles’ Town teammate Jon Gorenc Stankovic is in the Slovenia Under 21 squad for their qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in Waterford on September 2.
