'I'm lucky to have found my passion' Former rugby player Rory Pitman on life after pro sport

Weaving through Bridgend Industrial Estate it's easy to switch off, however a new, bright green sign attached to a large unit grabs your eye, standing to attention amongst the rest. Inside, former Welsh regions player Rory Pitman sits inside as he gets ready to launch the hub of his new venture.

Coming to the end of a professional sporting career is never easy, whether it's through retiring, not being signed to a new contract, or injury, there's a big adjustment period which is something Rory has been very open about in the past.
