The return of West Ham United youngster Jack Collison has delighted Wales national team manager Gary Speed.
The 22-year old made his Hammers return in the 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers on the weekend after a long layoff with a knee injury and Speed says it is great to see one of his promising talents back in action.
"I am delighted for Jack. He is one I have talked to over the last six or seven months about his progress and it was great he came on last week for West Ham," he said.
"He has been out for a long time and his injury is one we have to manage and we'll certainly be doing that, liaising with West Ham to see what the best is for Jack.
"He could be very important. He is an excellent player and before his injury he was playing very well for West Ham.
"He has a bright future in front of him and hopefully he will have a good one for Wales.
"I think if you look at some of the players we have in our squad for the future he fits right in there."
