Leigh Halfpenny 'couldn't be happier' as he edges closer to making rugby return after awful injury

Leigh Halfpenny has provided an update on his rehabilitation and insists he "couldn't be happier" with how things are going.

The Wales full-back suffered a devastating knee injury just seconds into his 100th Test appearance last summer during a match against Canada. Running back a kick, he twisted awkwardly on the Principality Stadium turf and suffered serious knee ligament damage.

Little more than a year on from the injury, Halfpenny has posted videos of himself on social media running agility drills, dragging a sled with weights and bounding over agility hurdles as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.
