Why, if he wants to play for wales, good luck to him
He was born in England, not sure where he lived all his life but both his parents are English. Wales have a lot less chance of success at future major competitions. England have a golden generation on its way from the look of the recent youth tournaments. Wales have half a good team at the moment. Good luck to him but he will regret it if we win something which could happen next decade, when he will be at his peak. Sure Solanke, Ojo, Ejaria... 3 of our players who just won the England u20 World Cup will make in impact internationally. Maybe he will be the next Bale, who was the last Giggs. It is like Suarez playing for Derby County. Good luck to him.
My grandfather is Irish and if I were a player with as much potential as Woodburn I would not be playing for Ireland. I would only play for Ireland if England told me I am not good enough and no international future playing for England. Each to their own, but I think at 17 it is not an age to make this decision. Personally I don't think he is ready for international football or to make that choice.
Things he is not legally old enough to do;
Drink a beer
Get a tattoo
Vote
Have a mortgage
Buy solvents
Gamble
And more...
But he is allowed to rule out playing for England.
