Rhys Pugsley had a bright future. Born in Newport, he attended Caerleon Comprehensive School, and started playing rugby league for Newport Titans before going through the Celtic Crusaders (later South Wales Scorpions) and Newport Gwent Dragons academy systems, whilst also winning caps for Wales and U16 and U19 levels. In 2011, he joined the academy at Wigan Warriors and in 2012, he made his full international début for Wales against France on his 18th birthday. In 2014, just as he was near to breaking into the Wigan first team, he received a two-year ban after testing positive for anabolic steroids. In 2016, he failed a second drugs test after testing positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone, resulting in a further eight-year ban from all sport
