Welsh rugby star tried to take own life as he halts career and issues emotional statement

Ospreys scrum-half Harri Morgan has admitted to attempting to take his own life in February.

Morgan, 23, played 11 times for Wales at Under 20s level and went on to make his Ospreys debut when just 18-years-old, signing a professional contract the following year. But the highly rated prospect has since been hampered by a series of injuries, and has now revealed the impact of his struggles on his mental health.

In an emotional social media post, Morgan explained that he took an overdose on February 5 this year. He will now be talking time away from rugby union with the aim of returning to the pro game at a later date.
