Tributes as rugby 'giant' dies aged 59

Cynon Valley Leader

May 29, 2025

FORMER Wales No. 8 Mark Jones has passed away at the age of 59 after suffering a heart attack in the Middle East.

Jones had been training in a gym. The former dual-code international played 15 times for Wales' rugby union team, while he also featured 11 times for Wales' rugby league team - also winning one cap for Great Britain in the 13-a-side.

During his playing days for Neath and Ebbw Vale in union, as well as Hull FC and Warrington, Jones was known for his brutal physicality.

During his career, he was sent off six times and banned for over 33 weeks for violent conduct.

Jones also dealt with a stammer, which he admitted after retiring led to him being filled with “self-loathing and hate” - resulting in doing, as he put it, “a lot of bad things" on the field.
