Swansea star Williams realising unattainable dream with Wales

Swansea City star Ashley Williams claims that he is living a childhood dream with the national squad after qualifying for Euro2016.


Wales finished their successful qualifying campaign with a 2-0 home win against Andorra on Tuesday night and celebrations soon followed in Cardiff.

Wales are now destined for their first major tournament since 1958 and captain Williams could hardly contain his excitement at the thought.

"It's everything - it's something I always dreamed of growing up but never thought I'd get to," he said.

"As the campaign's gone on we've got closer and closer, and it's been more realistic and you start to imagine what it's going to be like there.

"None of us have experienced anything like that so it'll be new.

"We're so proud of what we've achieved as a group of players. What we've achieved we'll never forget, and the bonds we've formed in this campaign will always be with us."
