Wales captain Gareth Bale says he will be in "great shape" for the World Cup after rediscovering his joy for club football at Los Angeles FC.

Bale enjoyed nine trophy-laden years at Real Madrid but his final seasons were tainted by injuries, patchy form and criticism from fans and Spanish media.

The 33-year-old has been rejuvenated by his summer move to LAFC and a warm welcome from the club's supporters.

"It feels nice, the fans have been really supportive over there," he said.

"They've been really patient as well which is good. I'm enjoying playing there, the atmosphere is incredible, they're all supporting the team.

"I can't ask for any more than that. They've made me feel at home straight away. So it's good vibes from the MLS [Major League Soccer] and hopefully that gives me more confidence going into Wales as well.

"The family are now settled in which is a big part. I'm getting stronger and fitter. Now we have an important stretch of games in the MLS, but after that I can turn my attention to the World Cup and hopefully be in the best shape as I possibly can."
