Neath RFC is buzzing to announce that prop forward Elis Hopkins (@ElisHopkins ) will be back in action for the Blacks in the 2024/25 season! 💪⚫️

Elis has been an absolute beast for us over the past few years, during his time in the back row, where he was known for his 💥 powerful drives and 💣 bone-crunching tackles that left a mark on every game. Last season, he made the bold move to the front row, stepping up as the prop we needed. His transition has been nothing short of impressive, with his scrummaging improving throughout the season and his big-hitting tackles continuing to make a massive impact. Coach Tim Ryan is expecting even bigger things from Elis this year! 🚀

A product of @NeathAthletic  🏉, Elis has shown tremendous growth and adaptability. Not only did he excel in his new role, but he also earned the 🏆 Clubman of the Year award for his incredible commitment to the badge and his unwavering dedication to the team. 🙌

We’re also thrilled to welcome Central Group Roofing and Building Solutions as Elis’s player sponsor! 🎯 Central Group, where Elis works, is a leading commercial roofing and cladding contractor with a national presence and a reputation for quality and innovation. Their commitment to excellence and community support aligns perfectly with the values we uphold at Neath RFC. 🤝

Here’s to another powerful season with Elis Hopkins in the front row! 💥🏉
