He earned 58 caps for the Wales national team between 1991 and 2000, the most by a hooker until he was surpassed by Matthew Rees in June 2014,[2] and played at the 1991, 1995 and 1999 Rugby World Cups.
At club level, he began his career with Ynysybwl, and in 1988 he spent time with Taupo United and the King Country provincial side in New Zealand. He returned to Wales and played for Pontypridd during the 1988–89 season. He found playing time hard to come by due to the presence of incumbent hooker Phil John, and only made seven appearances before moving to Pontypool at the end of the season.[3] After two years in Pontypool, he moved to Swansea, where he played for 12 years before a spinal injury forced him into retirement.
His son Owen is also a rugby player.
