Welsh rugby hero Jonathan Davies has paid a loving tribute to his cousin, who has died almost 10 years after he suffered a serious head injury sustained during a rugby match.
His cousin Dylan Rees suffered an horrific injury when he collapsed after a tackle just 40 seconds before the end of a match while playing centre for Clwb Rygbi Cymru Caerdydd in 2013. Rees underwent an emergency operation before going into a coma.
His family were later told he would require around the clock care for the rest of his life. But sadly, on Friday it was confirmed that the former police officer passed away at a Llanelli care home a day after his 43rd birthday.
