He joined the Ospreys in 2004 after the disbandment of the Celtic Warriors and played in 22 games, scoring 4 tries altogether. This earned him a call up to the national team but soon after suffered a serious knee injury in a game against Munster. In 2009, he joined Sale Sharks and in August 2010 he joined Newport Gwent Dragons[1] for a short spell before signing a 5 months contract with Edinburgh Rugby.

gollark: I sort of like writing JS but feel guilty about it because my code will inevitably break when it hits an error condition of some sort and/or a dependency implodes, Rust is a much nicer language in various ways but stricter when I *do not actually care* about shaving off a few ms and garbage collection is fine, I tried OCaml but the tooling isn't *great* and the libraries seem to be lacking.
gollark: It's among the least bad ones though.
gollark: I NEVER really felt entirely satisfied.
gollark: If there was a programming language which I found satisfying to use, I would be significantly happier with programming.
gollark: I mind MANY programming languages.
