Wrexham A.F.C. HubWrexham A.F.C. captain Dom Hyam has been named in the Scotland squad for the World Cup. The 30-year-old enjoyed a successful debut season in North Wales and has been rewarded for his fine performances with a place in Steve Clarke’s squad this summer.
What led to the call-up?
Hyam made 43 appearances across all competitions for Wrexham after signing from Blackburn Rovers for $3.62 million on Deadline Day of the summer window.
Hyam's journey to the World Cup
He was handed the captain’s armband just two months after signing and wore it for most of the season. The Wrexham center back has only made two senior appearances for the Scotland national team after making his debut in a European Championship qualifier against Norway in June 2023.
