Emyr Wyn Huws (born 30 September 1993) is a Welsh footballer who plays for Manchester City. A midfielder, he previously spent time on loan at Northampton Town. After representing his country at levels up to under-21, Huws made his debut for the Wales senior team in 2014.

Career

Born in Llanelli, Huws started his career with a five-year spell at Swansea City, before he was signed by Premier League club Manchester City in 2009.[2] He developed to become captain of the club's under-21 side.[3] He scored for City in the 2012–13 season of the NextGen Series youth tournament, in a 3–1 win over Fenerbahçe at Ewen Fields.[4] He joined Northampton Town of League Two on a three-month loan deal in October 2012.[5] He made his debut for the "Cobblers" on 13 October, in 3–0 win over Exeter City at Sixfields.[6] He received public praise from manager Aidy Boothroyd and captain Kelvin Langmead.[7][8]

He made his debut for Manchester City on 15 January 2014, coming on a substitute against Blackburn Rovers in an FA Cup third-round replay.[9]

On 28 January, Huws joined Football League Championship club Birmingham City on an initial one-month youth loan.[10] He went straight into the starting eleven for the match at home to Derby County on 1 February, and his stoppage-time shot rebounded off the post for Federico Macheda's equaliser.[11] The loan spell was extended until the end of the season,[12] and Huws was voted Birmingham's player of the month for February.[13] After 69 minutes of the home match with Burnley on 12 March, Huws chested the ball down and volleyed past the goalkeeper from 25 yards (23 m) for his first goal for the club, and Birmingham's second in a 3–3 draw.[14] He scored his second goal in a 3–1 loss away to Middlesbrough, with a stunning thirty-five yard shot that led to the club's 'Goal of the Season' voting to be relaunched, with Huws' goal becoming a contender and ultimately winning it.[15]


International career

Huws made his full debut for Wales in a friendly against Iceland on 5 March 2014. In the absence of fellow midfielders Aaron Ramsey, Joe Ledley and David Vaughan, Huws took on the holding midfield role and played the whole match as Wales won 3–1.[16]
