Neath RFC is thrilled to announce the signing of hooker Sion Jones from Carmarthen Quins for the 2025/26 season! 🏉⚫️

With over 50 Premiership appearances, the experienced 26-year-old brings invaluable know-how to the All Blacks’ front row. His arrival is timely, following the retirement of Josh Clark and the departure of Evan Kneath, as he continues his medical career.

Head Coach Tim Ryan said:

“We brought Sion in because we needed to add more steel to our front five. He brings aggression, hunger, and a bit of **** — that edge you need in the front row. His throwing and set piece work are excellent, and I think his toughness and competitiveness will be a huge asset to us this season. He’s going to be a big player for us.”

We’re also delighted to announce Sion’s player sponsors for the 2025/26 campaign:
