Former Powys PE teacher and Wales striker Gwennan Harries will be part of S4C's World Cup commentating team in Qatar.

Gwennan will be the voice of Wales' historic tournament, analysing every goal, pass and block, on the Welsh language channel alongside lead commentator Nic Parry.

The former Everton player, who started her teaching career at Caereinion High School, is one of Welsh football's most recognisable faces.

Gwennan, who scored 18 goals in 56 caps for her country, said: "Hearing that I got the call-up to be part of the S4C team in Qatar was as exciting to me as hearing about my first call-up for Wales!

"I can't wait to get out there and see Wales on the biggest stage in world football, and hopefully see some performances that we'll remember for years and decades to come."
