'Hayley is dedicated to the badge'

Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson and players Ceri Holland and Carrie Jones praise centurion to be Hayley Ladd ahead of her 100th game for Wales against Italy.

Wales take on Italy in Monza on Friday evening in their opening Nations League game.

Everton's Ladd will wear the armband on the insistence of captain Angharad James, who wants to create a tradition of people leading the team on their 100th cap.

Ladd is the 10th Welsh footballer to achieve the feat of 100 caps.
