to go overseas but felt he had more to offer Wales after being capped in 2021.

The 32-year-old expressed that he doesn’t know ‘how much more’ he can take as he faces dark times. He took to Twitter to share his story.

The thread continued: “Then getting an offer that won’t even be enough to feed my family.

“Pay reduction I was willing (to take) because of the love I have for the club and also the feeling of unfinished business in the red jersey knowing I haven’t been given that proper chance to show I can truly add.

“But I can’t accept an offer that can’t even feed my family on a month-tomonth basis … regrets running through my mind as I turned offers to go abroad back in October in the hopes of still representing both jerseys.

“But now I’m hating myself because this situation we are in.”
