The 23-year-old striker, who has scored 17 goals in 39 games this season, will join up with Chris Coleman's squad after the Saddlers League One clash with Colchester tomorrow.

Bradshaw received his first call-up to the senior side back in November and impressed Coleman despite remaining on the bench for a friendly with Holland.

He previously featured for Wales at both under-19 and under-21 level and will now hope to cement his place in the senior squad ahead of Euro 2016.

As a result of Bradshaw's call-up, Walsall's home clash with Shrewsbury Town, scheduled for Easter Monday,is set to be postponed.

The Saddlers will have three players away on international duty with Romaine Sawyers and Neil Etheridge called up by St Kitts and Nevis and the Philippines respectively.

A date for the Shrewsbury game will be announced shortly.
