Craig Bellamy, the former Liverpool star, has encouraged Wrexham to produce more Welsh talent after the club saw its players called up to the national team for the first time in 15 years.

Three of the Red Dragons' stars were included in the 25-man squad announced by Wales manager Bellamy for Thursday's World Cup qualifier in Kazakhstan.

The Wales manager is now eager to see Wrexham provide more players for the national team in the long term, particularly young prospects, after the two actors recently invested in a new multi-million pound youth academy facility.

Wales manager Bellamy is a former Liverpool player.

Bellamy added: "I believe in the long run, hopefully Welsh football will really be able to benefit from them as well
