Wales captain Aaron Ramsey says he never considered international retirement after the disappointment of missing out on Euro 2024, and instead wants to keep playing until the 2026 World Cup.
Ramsey, 33, was an unused substitute as Wales lost their Euros play-off final to Poland on penalties in March, with then manager Rob Page criticised for not bringing him on.
The Cardiff City midfielder admits that experience had "eaten away" at him but, now Craig Bellamy has replaced Page as Wales boss, Ramsey is excited about the team's future.
"It never entered my mind about stopping. If anything, it excites me what this team are capable of," said Ramsey.
"It was difficult for me not to get on and hopefully try to help the team to qualify. That was the thing that was eating away at me and I felt like there was some unfinished business there.
"That is definitely an aim of mine, to help this team qualify for the next World Cup. The potential in this team, the age, it's all positive and puts us in a great position to do that."
