Ceri Sweeney heads back to Wales

Ceri Sweeney will be leaving Exeter this summer to take up a player-coach role with Pontypridd.
“Ponty have got some good youngsters and I don’t want to be taking their game-time. I have to be realistic, I’m 35,” said Sweeney, who won 35 international caps for Wales.
“I’m not coming back to play every week although I do want to play some matches. The big thing is for me to work closely with and help the youngsters.
“I did that role at Exeter with young Henry (Slade) and it’s something I enjoyed. My business Concept Fire and Electrical, in which my former Ponty team-mate Nick Kelly and I are partners, has taken off but I would like to get into coaching. I’d like to work on the attacking side of the game, building game plans and looking at ways to unlock opposition defences.”
