Neath RFC

Neath RFC bids a fond farewell to several incredible players as they embark on new adventures. Their contributions to the club will never be forgotten, and we wish them all the best in their future endeavours. πŸ–€

Rhodri Cole departs for Pontypool RFC after an impactful second spell at The Gnoll. His sharp passing, quick thinking, and leadership have left a lasting mark on the team. Best of luck, Rhodri! πŸ‰βš‘

Matthew Jenkins has announced his retirement. His power, pace, and passion made him a constant threat on the field, leaving behind unforgettable moments. Thank you, Matthew, for everything you’ve given to Neath RFC! πŸ–€

Lewis Evans retires from rugby, having consistently put his body on the line for the team. A true powerhouse in attack and a rock in defence, his physicality and leadership were pivotal to the success of the side. His versatility, resilience, and impact will be greatly missed by all. You’ve left your mark on Neath RFC, Lewis! πŸ‰πŸ’ͺ

Cai Arnold was a true powerhouse in the 2nd row, with unmatched heart, grit, and determination. His presence on the field will be greatly missed, but we know he’ll continue to shine at Swansea RFC. Best of luck, Cai! πŸ’ͺπŸ–€

Ellis Lewis heads to Swansea RFC, bringing his sharp scrum-half skills and relentless work ethic to the next level. Joining the SRC with Swansea RFC, and after his recent call-up for Wales U20s we’re sure he’s destined to go from strength to strength. Go well, Ellis! πŸ‰πŸ”₯

Evan Kneath, along with his brothers Morgan and Fergus, who have also left the club, have all been key figures at Neath RFC. Evan has been a dynamic force in the hooker position, with a heart of steel and remarkable skill both in set pieces and around the field. As supporters know, the Kneath brothers have always been central to the team’s spirit, and their departure marks the end of an era. Best of luck to Evan and his brothers in their future endeavours! πŸ’ͺπŸ–€
