Former Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has taken his first steps into coaching by participating in the national team's development camp this week at the Vale of Glamorgan headquarters.
The 35-year-old retired from professional football last month and is now pursuing a career in management.

Ramsey, who previously played for Arsenal and Juventus, joined the training session led by head coach Craig Bellamy, which gathers promising young Welsh players from various youth age categories.
The former captain has long expressed his ambition to enter coaching and management after his playing days.
He has already completed his UEFA A Licence and worked within the Cardiff City academy, even serving as interim manager for the final three matches of last season.
Ramsey has openly stated that managing the Welsh national team would be a landmark achievement in his future career.
"Hopefully it is a few years away yet, but it would definitely interest me one day," Ramsey said in a 2024 interview.

He added: "That would be a very proud moment for me.
I've done my A Licence and will be starting my Pro Licence soon, and it's definitely something I'm really interested in."
Bellamy has praised Ramsey's coaching potential, revealing that tactical discussions began before Ramsey officially retired.
"I speak to Aaron quite a lot, I try and involve him a lot in tactically what we look to do," Bellamy explained.
