Gerwyn Price has announced his return to rugby this year to play for his local team Bedwellty RFC.
The club was formed in 2021 when local rivals Aberbargoed RFC and Markham RFC joined forces and decided to merge. Now the club is strengthened by the arrival of former world champion Price, who will play "one or two" matches a month for the club in addition to his busy darts schedule.
The former world number one was a talented rugby player before capturing a Tour Card in 2014, making the switch from rugby to darts.
During his rugby days, he represented Cross Keys and Neath in the WRU Premiership, and had a brief spell in the Pro12 with the Glasgow Warriors. He also played in the Rugby League with the South Wales Scorpions.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
