RYAN GIGGS' son Zach has made a major step in his career after earning his fifth cap for Wales at under-19 level.
Zach, 18, featured in Wales‘ 3-1 win over Turkey at the Belle Vue in Rhyl during their final Euro Qualifying Elite Round match.
Goals from Plymouth starlet Freddie Issaka, Manchester United striker Gabriele Biancheri and Norwich City‘s Elliot Myles were enough to seal victory for the young Dragons.
After slumping to defeats at the hands of England and Portugal, Chris Gunter's under-19s side finished third in Group G, with three wins and three defeats.
England, by virtue of winning the group, have booked their place in the finals in Romania in June.
Zach, who can play as a centre-back or full-back, was named in the starting XI and received a yellow card just before the final whistle.
He is also eligible for England, but has so far progressed through the age grades with Wales.
Zach didn't feature in Wales‘ 2-0 defeat to England last week, but played the full 90 minutes in their 1-0 loss to Portugal.
He is one of several young Welsh stars hoping to follow in their fathers footsteps.
Others include, Robbie Savage‘s son Charlie and Jason Koumas' boy Lewis, who have already featured at senior level.

Zach has been on the books at Sheffield United since leaving Man Utd‘s academy in 2023.
His mum is Gigg's first wife Stacey Cooke, who also has daughter Libby with the former footballer.
Dad Ryan previously managed Wales' senior side but stood down due to off-pitch issues.
At the time, Giggs Sr was facing trialfor alleged abuse of his ex-girlfriend, but was since cleared of all charges.
The Premier League legend always denied assault and controlling or coercive behaviour towards his former partner.
Giggs wasreplaced by his assistant Robert Page forEuro 2020, who has since been sacked for Craig Bellamy.
He spent 25 years at Old Trafford and helped the club to win every major trophy, including 13 titles and the Champions League twice.
Giggs also set an incredible record of scoring in 23 consecutive campaigns playing in the Premier League.
But he has personally lost £100,000 after a trendy restaurant he backed went bust in recent weeks.
