New Wales boss Craig Bellamy is close to finalising his coaching team, which is set to include his former international team-mate and now Brighton first-team coach Andrew Crofts.
Bellamy, who was appointed Wales head coach in July following Rob Page's sacking in June, is also aiming to secure a return for ex-England goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson – but that deal might take a little longer to finalise. Page's other assistants, Alan Knill and Jack Lester, have also departed, while Margetson's return will signal the end for his successor as Wales goalkeeping coach, Tony Roberts.Bellamy got to know Crofts when they played together for Wales, and he has recruited the 40-year-old having been impressed by Brighton and their progressive style of play in the Premier League under recent bosses Roberto De Zerbi and Graham Potter.
The former Manchester City and Cardiff keeper earned praise for his work with the likes of Jordan Pickford, having been part of Gareth Southgate's England staff for more than 100 games.
