Bellamy sets retirement date from Wales

Cardiff City forward Craig Bellamy will retire from international football for Wales at the end of their World Cup 2014 qualifying campaign. The 34-year-old insists his decision to retirement will help the progression of the team in the future.

"Players come and go and my career has definitely come and gone," the former Liverpool player said.

"I have to do what's best for the national team and this group of players are the future. The next qualifiers, two-odd years, I'm not going to see it."
