Neath have re-signed
winger Alec Jenkins after a season with Llanelli.
The Carmarthen-born 25-year-old came through the Scarlets’
youth system and made four senior appearances for the region, before playing in
the English Championship with London Welsh. He also includes Pontyberem and
Carmarthen Quins among his former clubs.
He previously spent three seasons at Neath between 2009 and
2012 with an outstanding record; helping the Blacks to 47 wins in 69 games in
all competitions and scoring 19 tries.
A Welsh international at Under-18, 19, 20 and 7s levels, he
was a member of the Under-19 Grand Slam-winning side of 2006 that included
recent full senior internationals Jonathan and Bradley Davies. That same year,
he also lifted the Hong Kong 7s Plate with Wales, scoring a try in the final
against Argentina.
Coach Neil Edwards said of his new signing: “I played with
Alec here at Neath and he’s an outstanding rugby player and outstanding bloke.
He gives 100 per cent and was disappointed to have left the club last year.
“He’s really looking forward to coming back and proud to be
a Neath man again. He’s a big winger
and he’ll do his job all the time. I’m confident we’ll have good displays from
him next season.”
