Bath Rugby have sent a message of support to Owen Williams after it was confirmed that the young Cardiff Blues and Wales centre has suffered “a significant injury to his cervical vertebrae and spinal cord”.
The 22-year-old, who played at The Rec in January when Cardiff visited Bath Rugby in the LV= Cup, sustained a fracture while playing for the region during a World Club 10s match in Singapore and underwent an operation on Monday.
A tweet from Bath Rugby’s official Twitter feed stated: “@bathrugby send their best wishes to @Owilliams91 for his recovery. A supremely talented young man #StayStrongForOws”
It is just one of thousands of messages of support from the rugby community, with four-cap international Williams’ brother Gavin tweeting: “So emotional reading all the support. It’s overwhelming. In the hospital next to my brother – He’s a warrior.”
The Cardiff Blues statement said: “The family of Owen Williams are now at his bedside along with senior Blues management and medical staff.
“Arrangements are currently being made to co-ordinate his safe transfer home at an appropriate time.
“Cardiff Blues and the Williams family would like to thank the many hundreds of well-wishers who have offered messages of support.
“Cardiff Blues will be making no further comment but will continue to share further updates when they are available. We would also ask that the privacy of Owen Williams and his family is respected at this time.”
