An era has ended at the Ospreys with the news that Lloyd Ashley is to leave the region after more than a decade.
The 6ft 5in, 17st 13lb second row may not have won honours on the international front with Wales or the British and Irish Lions, and this particular news item may not make it onto Huw Edwards’ desk for the Ten O’Clock News this evening, but to pretty much all at the south-west Wales region Ashley has been an hugely important figure.
Along the way he has piled up 153 Ospreys caps.
