Rhodri Lloyd #Rugbystory

This weeks #Rugbystory is that of proud Welshman who just loves his Rugby. No shock there but he did grow up playing his Jnr rugby for Treharris RFC & moved to Penartha RFC. He had a decision to make between Celtic Crusaders or Dragons RFC & he chose RL & the Crusaders. He represented Wales RL while with Crusader but it wasn't long until he made a big move & that came with Wigan Warriors. He had a few loan moves but knew he needed to leave to play regularly & went on trail to the Ospreys but decided to stick with RL despite an offer from them. Swinton was where he signed & he loved it. Everything about Swinton resonated with him, honesty, hard work, underdogs & ambition. Some special years spent with the club got him a move to Widnes. It's was somewhat unfinished business after a short spell with them earlier in his career. He was a mainstay and fans favourite here. He played in world cups & represented Wales with passion everytime he pulled the jersey on. Now retired from RL he plays when he can with Blackburn Rugby & returns to the code where it all began. Ladies & Gents my pleasure to introduce Mr Rhodri Lloyd.
