Mural unveiled at primary school of Wales captain Angharad James ahead of Women's Euros
A mural for Wales' captain Angharad James has been unveiled at her primary school to celebrate her achievements in football, ahead next month's Euros tournament in Switzerland.
The tribute is on the front of Brynconin Primary School in Pembrokeshire, which is the school James attended.
When speaking about James, school governor Anna Makepeace said 'she's inspired generations of pupils and hopefully this mural will be a fitting tribute to her and her team.'
The former Tottenham and Reading player now plays for Seattle Reign FC in the United States.
The midfielder has won 122 caps for Cymru since making her debut against Scotland in October 2011.
When James was appointed captain she said, 'Representing your country is the greatest honour a player can have, and now to be appointed captain is an extremely proud moment for me and my family."
The Wales squad is training in Portugal ahead of their first game of the tournament on July 5 against the Netherlands.
Rhian Wilkinson's Wales side will then face France and defending champions England in the group stages of what is Wales' first ever major tournament appearance.
