Lockyer ideally wanted his future decided before a potential call-up to Wales’ squad for the upcoming Euros 2020 qualifiers against Croatia (June 8) and Hungary (June 11).
After a six-day training camp in Portugal, Lockyer’s spot in Ryan Giggs’ 28-man set-up for the two games has been confirmed.
That means all of Lockyer’s full attention will likely be with Wales until after those matches have taken place.
