Wales World Cup star without a club at 26 after challenging times and illness before new Welsh call-up

Having started for Wales in a World Cup quarter-final, Tyler Morgan now finds himself without a club. During the seven years that have passed since that huge 2015 showdown with South Africa at Twickenham, he has been through some very challenging times, amid injury and illness.

Then, come the end of last season, he was released by the Scarlets, leaving him facing an uncertain and anxious future. But you don’t find the five-times capped centre feeling sorry for himself. Far from it in fact. Instead, he is relishing representing his country again, having just been named in the Wales Sevens squad for the Commonwealth Games.

When we catch up for a chat, our conversation soon turns to that day in October 2015 when he lined up against the mighty Springboks, having only just turned 20 a few weeks earlier.
