Wales scrum-half's son breaks into Ospreys U16 squad at just 14

The youngster who’s the son of former Wales scrum-half and captain Robert Jones has just been named in the Ospreys West U16 training squad.

A left-footed goal-kicker who can also play at No. 10, he is said to have considerable promise, so much so that he's playing a year above his age-group.

The Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera Bro Dur pupil, who is part of the age-grade set-up at Trebanos, has been named in an extended Ospreys group that will be assessed during the summer prior to a further selection process.

It’s still seriously early days for him, but he is said to be diligent with a natural aptitude for sport.
