Doncaster Rovers captain Brian Stock is hoping he can play his way into contention for Wales's Nationwide International with Sweden next month.

The 28-year-old won his first cap in the 3-1 defeat to Russia last September, but his progress has been hampered by an ankle injury that he has only just recovered from.

"It couldn't have come at a worse time for my international prospects," Stock said.

"John Toshack took the trouble to ring me on two or three occasions during my rehab to see how I was doing, which was good of him, but I've not spoken to him since I've been back playing.

"I've been happy with the three games I've played since I've been back and I know Wales have got a friendly in March and obviously I'd like to be in contention.

"But first and foremost I want to play well for Doncaster."
