Wales U21s boss Jones eyes Hennessey helping young Welsh goalkeepers

“There was a change in our staffing group with Boaz (Myhill) as Tony Mowbray came in at West Brom and wanted him to be part of the senior team there.

“We’ve asked Wayne whether he would be interested and we’ll see whether that’s too early or not.

“But the experience he’s got is absolutely frightening in what he could offer our young keepers within the system.

“I would love to tap into Wayne and bring him in like I’ve done with Gareth (Bale) and Aaron (Ramsey).

“These players know how to make it at the top level of football and we’ve got to share that learning.”

Hennessey has not been included in senior Wales boss Craig Bellamy’s squad for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and North Macedonia.

Bellamy named Danny Ward, Karl Darlow and Adam Davies as his goalkeeping trio while Hennessey’s recovery from a serious Achilles injury has seen him recently return to the Forest bench.

Ward and Darlow each made three appearances as Bellamy rotated his goalkeepers during the a successful autumn Nations League.

“We will see how this week goes but I’ve quite enjoyed moving them,” said Bellamy.

“I always see it like I move (outfield) players. It’s a position that doesn’t help that they are not particularly playing as much as what we would like.

“But we can’t always have it our way. We do understand it’s been that case for a while. We’re okay and I’m quite comfortable with it.”

Wales begin World Cup qualification against Kazakhstan in Cardiff on Saturday, 22 March and travel to face North Macedonia three days later.
