Craig Bellamy retires after 15-year Wales career

Bellamy retires after 15-year Wales career

Craig Bellamy's international career is over following Wales's 1-1 draw with Belgium this evening.

The Cardiff City striker called time on a 15-year career with his national side in the final game of their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Chris Coleman's side eventually finished fifth in Group A, with Bellamy's last meaningful action setting up Aaron Ramsey for the equaliser against the Belgians.

Kevin de Bruyne had earlier put the home side ahead after a good flick on from on-loan Everton striker Romelu Lukaku sent his teammate through on goal.

Bellamy, who won 78 caps for Wales, made his debut in a friendly against Jamaica in 1998.
