Wales rugby player urgently needs a donor after being diagnosed with rare form of cancer

Welsh international rugby player Ethan Davies has issued an urgent plea for a donor after being diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer.

The 28-year-old represented Wales on the Sevens World Series circuit between 2015 and 2020, holding a full-time Sevens contract during that period. He was one of the nation's most prolific scorers on the circuit and also represented his country at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Davies had signed for Pontypool RFC in the Welsh Championship after finishing with the Sevens programme and was training as an electrician. But he has now been diagnosed with Hepatosplenic T cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
