Aled Davies
Cap No 1134
Aled Davies learned his rugby at Whitland RFC, Ysgol Gyfun Bro Myrddin and then Coleg Sir Gar, where he played alongside Wales team-mates Scott Williams, Josh Adams, Gareth Davies and Samson Lee.
He was capped by Wales at U16 and U18 levels and made his competitive debut for the Scarlets in the 2009-10 campaign. He stayed with the Scarlets through to 2018, making more than 120 appearances for them, before joining the Ospreys.
He earned his first call up to the Wales squad in May, 2013, to train ahead of the summer tour to Japan. He was flown out to New Zealand in the summer of 2016 to replace the injured Lloyd Williams and played against the Chiefs. He finally made his Wales debut on the 2017 summer tour against Tonga in Auckland. His first start came a week later in the win over Samoa in Apia.
He built on those international appearances by facing Australia, Georgia and South Africa in the autumn series later that year and enjoyed his first taste of 6 Nations action as a replacement in a win against Scotland in February, 2018. In the summer of 2018 he started the crucial second Test win over Argentina as Wales sealed a first series victory in the land of the Pumas since 1999.
He played in four of the five Six Nations games in the Grand Slam campaign of 2019, including a start in the win over Italy in Rome.
