Bryonie King
King became the youngest person to captain a Wales Rugby League open age “running rugby league” test side when she skippered Wales Women against England at Cross Keys in 2022.
The Merthyr Tydfil born player was 18 Years 9 Months and 29 Days old (6,877 days) when leading her country, beating the previous record set in 2009 by Ben Flower, who was just two days short of his 22nd birthday when he led Wales out against England in Bridgend.
King, who started off playing rugby union at eight years old for Abercynon, played for Cardiff Rugby at U18 level when aged just 15, and made her English Premier 15s debut for Gloucester-Hartpury when aged just 17. Also a Wales touch rugby international, she started playing rugby league in 2021 at Rhondda Outlaws, before being selected for Cardiff Demons where she was part of their Super League South winning squad.
