Strictly speaking, Wales’ next tournament is the Nations League, with top-tier fixtures against Portugal, Denmark and Norway due in the autumn – and an undoubted test of the side’s capability under Bellamy,

However, with the World Cup out of reach, the next real chance of a major stage is the Euros, with games in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on offer should Wales qualify.

It is that prospect that has motivated Bellamy, the subject of interest from Burnley recently, but who Williams said still has more to show with this squad of players.

“Since he’s come in, he’s changed so much within the team,” the 55-cap defender said. “But, at the same time, it hasn’t been very long so the more time we have, the better we’re going to be.

“We’re enjoying it, we’ve got the Nations League to test ourselves against the best teams, and then we have the aim of the next tournament and the Euros.

“Two years will fly and picturing walking out at the stadium is unbelievable – they’re the moments you want in football.”
