Efan Daniel

The young hooker was signed onto Cardiff academy terms as a 16-year-old in 2019, having come through the club’s pathway system. The former Treorchy Comprehensive School pupil captained the Under-16 North side to the Regional Age Grade Championship in 2019.

He represented Treherbert, Treorchy and Llantwit Fardre in his younger days, was also part of the Coleg y Cymoedd side who finished runners up in the 2020 School & Colleges League.

He went on to make his international debut for Wales Under-20 in the Six Nations and made his Blue and Blacks bow as a replacement in the January 2022 URC win over Leinster.

Daniel put pen-to-paper on his first professional deal with the club in April 2022.
