Aston Villa manager Dean Smith is expected to help turn the fortunes of the club around as they look to return to the English Premier League.
While going about that business, reviving the international career of defender Neil Taylor also rests on his shoulders.
The 29-year-old hasn’t featured for Wales in almost a year, with his last appearance coming during Chris Coleman’s final game in charge last November – a 1-1 draw against Panama.
Taylor is yet to play under current Wales manager Ryan Giggs, and that is largely down to his lack of regular playing time at club level.
