Former Welsh rugby favourite Mark Spiller battling rare form of cancer

A fundraiser has been launched in support of former Welsh rugby favourite Mark Spiller, who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

Spiller, who played for Nelson, Ebbw Vale, Pontypool and Pontypridd during the 1990s, has developed neuroendocrine cancer and is set to go under the knife to have a tumour on his liver removed.

Speaking to WalesOnline, the 55-year-old former flanker, who now owns his own business as a roofer, explained he first noticed something wasn't right shortly after Covid restrictions were lifted.
