A former rugby player for Wales made an appearance in court on charges of assaulting a boy.
In 1995, Mathew Back earned four caps for his nation. He played club rugby for Pontypridd, his hometown team, as well as Bridgend, Swansea, Bristol, and Aberavon. He hung up his boots and went on to become a teacher.
On Thursday, October 26, the 53-year-old made an appearance at Newport Crown Court after being charged with assault resulting in actual bodily harm. November 2021 is the alleged date of the offence.

Back, of Miskin Crescent, Miskin, was given unconditional bail without entering a plea. Judge Carl Harrison set a provisional trial date of March 14, 2024; he is scheduled to return to court on January 18 of next year.
As a full-back, he started the final three games for Wales in the 1995 Five Nations Championship after making his debut against France in Paris. Tony Clement, a star player for the Lions, missed the first two games due to a concussion, so he came on as a substitute.
In his 80 games for Pontypridd, he scored four penalties, eighteen conversions, and twenty-three tries.

According to the statement, local police were consulted by his mother Julie Davis and friend Richard Squire to receive an update on the status of the disappearance investigation.
“Extensive work has been done to track Levi’s movements on the night of the 29th October and they are able to confirm that following his last reported sighting at the Hard Rock Cafe, Levi walked back down La Rambla and entered the commercial port,” the statement continued.
“His phone last registered in the early hours of Saturday 30th October with a phone tower at the far end of the port closest to the sea entrance.”
