Swansea full-back Taylor bracing for 'massive' Wales clash with Belgium

Wales international Neil Taylor is well aware just how big his country's next Euro2016 qualifier is.

The Dragons, who sit second in Group B, take on leaders Belgium in Cardiff on June 12 and Swansea City left-back Taylor knows just how important the fixture is for the hopes of his nation.

"It's a massive game," he told the club's official website after penning a new four-year deal.

"Since the win in Israel we have been looking forward to facing Belgium and if we can get a positive result then it puts us in a great position.

"For me personally, last year was a great season. It was one that I needed and I managed to prove to myself that I can still play at this level, which was important."

Wales are equal on points with the Belgians who have a superior goal difference after five fixtures of qualifying for the UEFA showpiece in France next summer.
