One hundred days on from the motorcycle accident that forced him to have much of his right leg amputated, Ospreys hooker Ifan Phillips marked the milestone by revealing his new prosthetic.
The former Wales under-20 rugby star suffered catastrophic damage to his right leg following the crash in Swansea on December 5 and had to have it amputated above the knee. Despite the setback, Phillips has remained remarkably upbeat in his social-media activity and returned to the gym just a month following the accident.
A JustGiving crowdfunding account was swiftly set up in his name, aiming to raise £100,000 for the " adjustments & rehabilitation Ifan will need after this life-changing event." The page has raised a little more than £77,000 of that sum to date, which has helped speed up the process for Phillips to receive his prosthetic.
