Mepham in dreamworld after first Wales start

It marked his first ever appearance for Wales, after a breakthrough season with Brentford in the Championship. 

"I do pinch myself a little bit," he said after the 0-0 draw. 

"I've loved my progress, but it's been an absolute roller-coaster and one thing after another.

"It's only when you have a bit of time to look back that you go 'Wow, what an incredible journey it's been'.

"It's been a whirlwind few years but I've loved every minute of it. I just hope I can keep that going, stay grounded and focused and see where I go."
