WALES centre Owen Williams is continuing to make good progress following the serious injury he suffered to his spinal cord in June.
Williams is receiving treatment at the Welsh Spinal Injuries and Neurological Rehabilitation Unit at Rockwood Hospital in Cardiff.
He suffered his injury while playing for the Cardiff Blues at the World Club 10s in Singapore in June.
A statement from the Cardiff Blues said: “Owen is now tolerating periods of time sitting up in a wheelchair, allowing him the chance to spend short periods of time outside the hospital. He is also starting to use the gym at the hospital for early upper limb rehabilitation.
“It remains very early in his recovery, but support for the #StayStrongForOws campaign worldwide has been a huge inspiration for Owen, his family and friends.
“Over 14,000 #StayStrongForOws wristbands have now been sold and fundraising continues, in association with the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, to support Owen.
“Cardiff Blues would like to reiterate its thanks to the media for the privacy and respect shown to Owen and his family over the last four months.
“The region will continue to share updates when available.
“Thank you for your support and #StayStrongForOws.â€
