Craig Bellamy has declared himself very happy with his back-room team, having brought in some trusted assistants to take Wales forward.

The new Wales manager has drafted in Brighton first team coach Andrew Crofts, who will continue to work primarily for the Premier League club.

Bellamy has also turned to James Rowberry, the former Newport County manager, whose short-lived spell as a No.1 had followed impressive work behind the scenes at Cardiff City.

Other appointments include Piet Cremers, who worked closely with Pep Guardiola during his time as head of performance analysis at Manchester City, and also linked up with Bellamy during their time together at Burnley.
