Wrexham have signed a 6ft 4ins German striker.

It’s only a little over six weeks since Elfyn Evans won the final round of the 2017 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), but the Wales Rally GB victor has already started his preparations for the 2018 season – with a pre-Rally Monte Carlo test in the south of France.

Newtown, looking to respond to their WPL defeat to […]

It wasn’t to be for Tesni Evans at the PSA World Squash Championships, but the Wales No 1’s performances in Manchester have proved she is closing in on the top players in the world. In reaching her first quarter-final at her seventh world championships, the Cardiff-born Evans provided the shock of the competition with her second round triumph over England No 1 and 2013 world champions Laura Massaro. She went into her quarter-final against Egypt’s Nour El Tayeb on a high, but wasn’t able to conjure up the same amount of magic as in her previous round and eventually fell 3-0 after 40 minutes, 11-9, 11-7, 11-9.

Great Britain can guarantee a gold medal finish and promotion in the World Under-20 Championships if they beat Japan in their final game on Saturday.

The 25-year-old Pembrokeshire-born Rotherham Titans scrum half becomes the latest signing made by Bernard Jackman as he seeks to turn the Rodney Parade outfit into real contenders in the future. Davies joins Ross Moriarty, Jordan Williams and Rhodri Williams in committing his future to the Dragons from English clubs.

European Junior 1500 metre champion Jake Heyward and Commonwealth Youth discus silver medallist James Tomlinson are among 21 athletes included on the British Athletics Futures Academy programme for 2018.

The first steps in creating a sustainable financial future for one of the world’s greatest rugby clubs, Newport RFC, were taken his week when the Principality Premiership club signed a significant sponsorship deal with Carpeo Estate Planning. The deal will provide one of Wales’ oldest clubs with a financial lifeline at a time when they are trying to find a way to move forward after losing their home of the past 140 years at Rodney Parade as a result of the takeover of the Dragons and Rodney Parade by the Welsh Rugby Union. The deal left the Black & Ambers with around £600,000 in the bank and an agreement to continue to play at their spiritual home for as long as professional rugby is played at Rodney Parade. Running a Premiership club costs around £350,000 a year and they receive less than a third of that from the WRU.

Neil Warnock is facing a Football Association charge. The Bluebirds manager was sent off during Cardiff City’s 2-2 draw at Reading and watched the last 12 minutes in a small television room at the Madejski Stadium.

Dan Biggar has pledged his loyalty to Northampton next season despite their sacking of director of rugby Jim Mallinder. It was Mallinder who convinced Biggar to leave the Ospreys at the end of this campaign for three years with the Saints. But despite Mallinder’s dismissal this week, Wales fly-half Biggar has told the Aviva Premiership club he will not look for any way out of his deal which is understood to be worth £650,000-a-year.

Paul Clement has confessed that Swansea City got off lightly by only conceding four goals at home to magnificent Manchester City on Wednesday night. The Swans manager looked like a man watching his car being jacked up by an expert team of slick-handed thieves, who effortlessly remove the wheels, then come back for the interiors, the gadgets and the seats, and leave only a shell. Clement’s team were indeed hollowed out – stripped down to a barely functioning few parts by opponents who were methodical and masterful.

Taulupe Faletau has joined the list of players who will watch the start of the Six Nations from the discomfort of an armchair, painkilllers close at hand. Robin Davey says the game is brutalising itself, denying fans of star names and putting strains on teams’ finances, never mind the strains on the bodies themselves. Rugby is in crisis with injuries mounting on an almost daily basis, player after player going down to stretch resources of club, region and country to the absolute limit. The effect is to seriously weaken teams – whether domestic or international – deprive fans of the ability to watch their favourite players, which they pay heavily to see, and forces regions and clubs to lengthen their squads considerably, incurring debts in the process.
