He said, “I’m delighted to have signed for Neath for next season. I’m grateful to Pat Horgan and the club for this opportunity. Being a local boy, I’m honoured to be able to play for my home town club. I’ve played for the club a few times on permit last season and once when I was eighteen. Each time I’ve worn the jersey I’ve been extremely proud to do so.

“Neath is a massive club with so much history and really passionate supporters. I’m looking forward to next season and can’t wait to get started. I will give everything in the hope that, as a squad, we can get Neath RFC back to the Premiership as soon as possible.”
