His father played for Swansea RFC at the age of 17 amid suggestions the big and powerful wing might just turn out to be Welsh rugby’s next big thing. But Adrian Cambriani didn’t last long in rugby union.
Just four months after his debut, when he scored three tries in four games, he had been snaffled by rugby league, with Fulham tempting him to take the 13-a-side-code shilling. Cambriani senior was lost to union for good in those distant amateur days. Just a year after his switch he was playing for the Wales rugby league team.
Now, his son Ben is making an impact in 15-a-side with English Championship side Ampthill. The 22-year-old, who featured for Wales U18s in their win over England U18s at Ebbw Vale in 2017 (read more about that Welsh win here ), has been named in the Championship team of the season.
