The Craig Bellamy era with the Wales national team has certainly gathered more people on board as he’s set high goals for his side, ahead of the World Cup in 2026. A former wide player is looking to make his return to the national setup, but understands the task that lies ahead to get there.

00:00Tom Lawrence is planning further talks with Wales boss Craig Bellamy, as the Rangers ace
00:06eyes a return from his international exile.
00:09The 31-year-old was a Dragons regular under Chris Coleman and Ryan Giggs, but a fallout
00:14with former gaffer Rob Page means he hasn't pulled on a red jersey since a friendly with
00:19Mexico back in 2021.
00:22Having been frozen out for the entirety of his two-year Ibrox stint, Lawrence was offered
00:28hope of a Wales comeback last month after holding initial discussions with new boss
00:32Bellamy, but left the door open for his return when his side face Iceland and the Montenegrins
00:39in three weeks' time.
00:40Lawrence said,
00:41I spoke to the manager before the international break this month.
00:45We'll have another chat and see where we're at, but there's no pressure on it, it's pretty
00:49open from both sides.
00:51I'm not going to say I should be in this or be in that, but I would love the chance to
00:56play for Wales once again.
