Wales boss Bellamy backs Jordan James’ ‘smart move’ to Rennes

“I’ve had little conversations with JJ,” said Bellamy, who has included James in his squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Turkey and Iceland.

“It’s always difficult for a kid or anyone who moves to a different country. It was the same with myself (in Belgium) the first couple of months.

“You’re picking up the language, but it’s just a different way of doing things, even simple things like the food.

“JJ is in that period where he’s still a young kid. But he’s at a really good football club that develop young players and progress them and I see it as a smart move.”
