Natasha Harding celebrates her goal during her 100th appearance for Wales against Kazakhstan on Tuesday, April 12

Midfielder Natasha Harding, who grew up in Hengoed, celebrated her 100th international cap with a goal in Wales’ 3-0 World Cup qualifying win against Kazakhstan.

The win, on Tuesday, April 12, keeps World Cup qualification alive for Wales. If they qualify, it will be our first appearance at a major tournament.

Harding, who attended Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni, made her international debut back in 2008, aged just 19 – coming off the bench in a 2-0 defeat away to Switzerland.

Talking to BBC Wales following the match, Harding expressed her pride having represented her country for the 100th time: “It was an emotional one, I could hardly sing the anthem. 

“I’m so proud to be wearing this shirt.”

The dominant 3-0 win in Kazakhstan followed a 2-1 loss against group leaders France at Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli.

With just two games left in their qualification campaign, Wales are chasing the runners-up spot in Group I for a play-off match to make it to the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Next up is Greece away on Friday, September 2, with a home match against Slovenia on Tuesday, September 6.

The 2023 World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
