Davies is set to become the fourth Welshman to make a century of appearances for his country against Belgium on Monday, following Gareth Bale, Chris Gunter and Wayne Hennessey to three figures.

The 32-year-old looks on course to break Bale’s 111-cap record with the Wales captain as consistent as ever, according to Dragons manager Bellamy.

“I watched the game back against Canada [in September] and he was so good,” Bellamy said of Davies.

“He was just amazing - every part of his game. As good as I've ever seen him play for Wales, that was my feeling.

“We can all agree that he’s been a top player. But we are all very impressed with him as an individual, as a person.

“You can see when he does interviews. He's very impressive. He will be a top manager if he wants to be. Or he could become a director of football, or a CEO.
