We have confirmed our wheelchair squad for the first three (hopefully four) matches of the year.
South Wales Jets will compete in a four-team competition in February, with the top two qualifying for the Welsh Grand Final in March. There will be other tournaments later in the year.
We kick-off with a home match against North Wales Crusaders at Sue Noake Leisure Centre on Sunday 8th February, kick-off 12.20pm. Admission is free and we’d love big support from the Jets faithful.
We have a nine-player squad that includes a number of international players. To see their full profiles, please go to https://jetsrugby.wales/wheelchair-team but here’s a bit more about them. To sponsor a player, please email wheelchair@jetsrugby.wales for more information.
Seven transfer over from Torfaen Tigers who aren’t currently running a wheelchair side. They are…
- Captain Jason Reynolds is missing half a leg after three tonnes of steel destroyed it on a building site accident. A former rugby union player with Tredegar Ironsides, he’s now a Welsh international wheelchair player.
- His son Jamie Reynolds joins him. A non-disabled player (wheelchair sides are allowed two), he was the second youngest senior Wales international when he appeared alongside his dad for Wales Wheelchair when aged 15. Top try and points scorer in the Welsh League in 2025.
- With over 40 caps for Wales in Wheelchair Rugby League, Mark Williams is the Jets’ most experienced player for 2026. He travels down from Anglesey to play for us as he enjoys it so much. He also turns out for Wigan Warriors Wheelchair.
- An Ireland international, Darran Dowey was introduced into the sport by the late Lyndon Price, who was the coach at Torfaen. A church pastor by trade, so he can’t make Sunday matches due to work!
- Leighton Morris comes to the Jets after holding the Welsh League appearance record for Torfaen Tigers, making 24 out of a possible 27 over three years, scoring 28 tries, the second-highest amount for that club. He’s also chairman of Mardy FC.
- Dane Oram is going into his second year of Wheelchair Rugby League. Initially a rugby union player, a series of injuries put paid to his career there, but he’s showing his talents in Wheelchair RL.
- The youngest member of the side, 13-year-old, Parker Golden, is starting his fourth season of Wheelchair Rugby League, having played for Torfaen for three years, making 21 appearances in the Welsh League, second only to Leighton Morris.
Two players have been signed from elsewhere…
- Brogan Evans comes from North Wales Crusaders. The only player in the world to win senior international caps in two different disciplines, having played for Wales Women and Wheelchair, she’s formerly a star in Women’s Super League with Salford and Wigan. Injuries now mean she’s concentrating on the wheelchair game.
- Finally, Tyma Hughes, is a Wales Rugby League international in the Physical Disability Rugby League (PDRL) discipline. The Jets will be his first major Wheelchair club, but he has played for Team Colostomy in the past, in both the PDRL and Wheelchair versions of the sport.
