I still have a lot more to give - McNally

JOSH McNally views his move to Cardiff as the perfect outcome after for a time that his rugby career may be over.

McNally's five years at Bath came to an end last month when his contract wasn't renewed and a return to full-time duty with RAF was one of the options available to him contemplating The towering 6'9 lock has been on an elite sports programme with the RAF for the past 10 years, which has allowed him to play professional whilst still being a member of the Armed Forces.

And thankfully that arrangement can now continue after he penned a two-year deal with Wales' capital club, allowing him to combine the best of both worlds.

As far as the 33-year-old is concerned, it is a move that ticks all the boxes.

McNally won't have to uproot his family from Bath, whilst he sees the chance to spread his wings and play league rugby outside of England for the first time as another added benefit. "We are not really at the stage of our lives where we can pick up and move anywhere so when Cardiff came asking it was a bit of a no-brainer really because it means we can keep our life pretty much as it is, in Bath. My commute will just go up from 20 minutes to just over an hour," he said.

"I understood my time at Bath was probably coming to an end and we looked around and opened ourselves up to anything really because you don't know until something is slapped in front of you what is possible, and there were other opportunities out there.

But it wasn't going to work for us as a family.
