The defender has been selected in Chris Coleman's 23-man squad for Wales' World Cup Qualifier against Serbia on Sunday.
Rovers skipper Tom Lockyer has been included in the senior Welsh squad ahead of their trip to Belgrade to take on Serbia.
The twenty-two-year-old spent last week at a training camp in Portugal with the Welsh national side.

Just reading it, whilst its a retained 23 man squad, its still a great honour. Well played Skip.

Congratulations, Tom Lockyer.
Even training among international players will help him and what a feeling to know that you are on the inner fringes of playing for your national team!
I hope he gets a start or maybe even a sub appearance - what a day at the Mem that would be, to see our captain get given his first, full cap.

Really happy for the lad, worked hard to get into the Rovers side and he's been noticed by the Welsh national team for his efforts for a while now.
So so pleased to see him get a senior call-up, imagine the sight of our Tom coming off the bench and playing side by side with Ashley Williams, playing balls to Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale! Tom must be absolutely buzzing to represent his country, huge congrats.

Well done Tom. Well deserved and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I suspect Tom and DC and BRFC are a very good mix. No big head with Tom and now he will knuckle down to turning it into a regular place and then a first team place. Good luck to him!
UTG!

Proud Rovers skipper & so proud to wear the Welsh shirt and inspirational to all that you can make a National squad just 2 years after playing in the Conference play off final. Great achievement.
