Chris Coleman and Ashley Williams told Sky Sports of their pride at reaching Euro 2016

Wales captain Ashley Williams says the team will hold no fear going into Euro 2016 next summer.

Chris Coleman's men signed off their European Qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win over Andorra, as they celebrated reaching their first major finals in 58 years.

And Williams insisted they will not be going into the tournament in France with an underdog mentality.

"In the last few years we've always stepped on to the field with no fear, and it'll be no different," he said.

"We're ranked eighth in the world, we've had a good campaign, so I don't see why we should fear anyone.

"That's the only way we know how to play at the minute."

There were big celebrations after Tuesday night's victory in Cardiff, and Williams admitted he didn't think it was something he'd ever experience.

"It's everything - it's something I always dreamed of growing up but never thought I'd get to," he added.

"As the campaign's gone on we've got closer and closer, and it's been more realistic and you start to imagine what it's going to be like there.

"None of us have experienced anything like that so it'll be new.

"We're so proud of what we've achieved as a group of players. What we've achieved we'll never forget, and the bonds we've formed in this campaign will always be with us."
