Following his arrival from Swansea City last Summer, Shaun MacDonald has to build his club reputation and career before knocking on the next level of Welsh football, having starred in the Welsh U-21 set up previously.
MacDonald is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echoas saying: "Playing for your country is probably the best thing you can do in your career so, maybe in the future, yes. But at the moment, I have just got to play every week and do well here. That is my short-term goal and you never know in the future. I had tremendous times working under Brian Flynn (with Wales under-21s) and he is a tremendous guy and a tremendous manager. I am a little bit too old for that now but I have got to do well here for the club – and then you never know".
