Nathan Broadhead struck both goals against Reading to help fire Wrexham into the fourth round of the EFL Cup for the first time since 1977. Prior to the draw being made, the 27-year-old admitted he wanted Wrexham to be paired with the Bluebirds in the next round as his father supports Brian Barry-Murphy's side.
Nathan Broadhead struck both goals against Reading to help fire Wrexham into the fourth round of the EFL Cup for the first time since 1977.
But the Wales international's household may well be split when Phil Parkinson's side host Cardiff City in round four next month.
Prior to the draw being made, the 27-year-old admitted he wanted Wrexham to be paired with the Bluebirds in the next round as his father supports Brian Barry-Murphy's side.
"I'd love Cardiff. My old man's a Cardiff fan," Broadhead said.
"I don't know what side he'd be on."
The former Ipswich Town man got his wish - with the pair set to meet at the Stok Cae Ras during the week beginning 27 October.
It ensures at least one Welsh team will reach the quarter-finals of the competition.
Given Swansea City's progress, the next round will see three Welsh teams feature in the last-16 for the first time in the competition's history.
And Broadhead feels the cup progress further demonstrates how Welsh football is in a good place at present.
"It just shows where Welsh football's going," he said.
"We're making steps, Craig Bellamy, Wrexham, I'm happy."
