About Alun Wyn Jones
Alun Wyn Jones is a Welsh former rugby union player who played as a lock. He played most of his career for the Ospreys and for the Wales national team. He is the world's most-capped rugby union player, with 158 caps for Wales and 12 for the British & Irish Lions, and also holds the records for the most Wales caps and the second-most Wales caps as captain. He retired from rugby in 2023. Jones made his Ospreys debut on 4 September 2005 in a 22–20 win over Leinster and having made several appearances as a replacement, Jones made his first Ospreys start against Border Reivers later that month. After a disappointing first season in which Ospreys finished 6th in the 2005–06 Celtic League, Jones went on to win the 2006–07 Celtic League title, the first trophy of his career. On 9 December 2016, Jones broke the Ospreys' record for the highest try scoring forward as he touched down for his 21st try. He is one of seven Wales players to have won three Grand Slams.
