The Port Talbot-born speedster has inked a deal until the end of the season and will join Matt Sherratt’s squad in training tomorrow morning.
South Wales Calling The 28-year-old winger, who lit up three consecutive Super League Grand Finals for St Helens before switching codes, was snapped up by the Arms Park outfit as injury cover. Grace, eager to reignite his career in South Wales, leapt at the opportunity to don the famous Blue and Black jersey.
From Ospreys to a Bath Revival Once a member of the Ospreys Academy, Grace’s rugby journey hasn’t been without its bumps. Released a year after joining due to a relapse in form, he sought redemption at Bath under Johann van Graan’s guidance, eventually earning a spot in their senior squad.
Lighting It Up Against Gloucester Grace showcased his talent in friendlies against Gloucester and Leinster last season, with a standout performance in a 59-19 thrashing of Gloucester. He further caught the eye representing Wales in a thrilling end-of-tour clash with the Queensland Reds in July.
Bouncing Back from Injury Despite undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury earlier this year, Grace made a triumphant return. He notched up two appearances this season—against Bedford Blues in the Premiership Cup and Benetton in the Champions Cup—highlighting his resilience and readiness.
Six Nations on the Horizon? Welsh coach Warren Gatland is reportedly a big admirer of Grace and will undoubtedly keep a close eye on his performances for Cardiff. With the Six Nations opener against France looming, a few eye-catching displays could see Grace forcing his way into Gatland’s plans.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
