“Everything’s in place, I get completely backed and it’s going to give me the opportunity in the next two years to improve again,” Bellamy said before his side’s 1-1 draw with Ghana in Cardiff on 2 June.<\/p>\n

“Links? I understand it but I don’t look too far. I love what I have here.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been offered that elsewhere as well, but I have this here already. <\/p>\n

“Wales gave me this opportunity and one or two might not have because I was conscious I haven’t managed before. Wales have given me this opportunity and I’m really grateful for that.<\/p>\n

“I am ambitious, trust me. I want to earn loads and loads of money but there’s a time and now, at this present moment, it just doesn’t feel that time.”<\/p>\n
