Luckless Wales wing Regan Grace has suffered yet another injury setback in the latest shattering blow to his career in rugby union.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old has had a torrid time since converting from rugby league<\/a> to union in the summer of 2022, when he left St Helens to join Top 14 side Racing 92. Having suffered a ruptured Achilles ahead of the move, he spent his time in Paris on the sidelines and ended up never playing a game for the French side after the same injury reoccurred months into his recovery.<\/p>\n After spells with both Bath and Cardiff<\/a>, Grace signed a short-term deal with Sale Sharks in November, but his injury-hit union career means he has played just nine matches in the last three years<\/a>. One of those came for Wales during their 2024 tour of Australia, as he made his international debut in an uncapped match against Queensland Reds, scored a try and suffered a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n JOIN OUR WALES RUGBY FACEBOOK PAGE! Latest news, analysis and much more<\/a><\/p>\n Now, the Port Talbot-born talent has faced yet another major blow having injured his Achilles again earlier this week, but this time on the opposite leg.<\/p>\n In a statement shared on Instagram on Thursday night, Grace revealed he would be undergoing surgery on Friday with another lengthy spell on the sidelines ahead.<\/p>\n “Unfortunately, l’ve suffered another Achilles injury this week on the opposite side to my previous one,” he wrote. “So I’ll be undergoing surgery tomorrow.<\/p>\n “After putting everything into getting back on the pitch following multiple setbacks, this is a tough one to process. I’m still finding my feet mentally and figuring out what the next chapter looks like.<\/p>\n “I love rugby, I’d have walked away a long time ago if I didn’t, but I know the journey ahead won’t be easy,” Grace added.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n “I’m incredibly grateful for the support and belief around me, which means more than I can put into words especially from my partner, Nina. I genuinely give my all to the sport.<\/p>\n “I don’t have all the answers right now but I will keep moving forward. Regs.”<\/p>\n It comes weeks after the Welshman told The Times<\/a> that he would continue to keep chasing his dreams in rugby “as long as my body allows,” having previously doubted his ability to overcome all the setbacks he has faced.<\/p>\n He also revealed that staff at Racing were “literally crying” after he tore his Achilles again while jogging, months into his rehabilitation from the same injury.<\/p>\n \u201cI know that all the staff there knew how hard I tried to make it work,” said Grace. “Because when I snapped my Achilles the second time there, the staff were literally crying. That\u2019s the part of my career which [leaves me] gutted.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I looked at all the injuries I\u2019d have, I probably would have thought I\u2019d never get through that,\u201d he added \u201cBut I\u2019m quite proud looking back, reflecting on the fact that I have got through it all and stayed positive, and that\u2019s pretty much all you can do, really, in those situations. Or just walk away from the game.<\/p>\n \u201cThat question\u2019s been given to me loads of times; do you want to walk away? I don\u2019t, because I still actually love rugby. So as long as my body allows, I\u2019m going to keep going. I know I\u2019ve still got plenty in the tank.\u201d<\/p>\n Follow all of our channels to ensure you stay up to date with the latest Welsh rugby news.
