Gareth Rees 1997/1998

Gareth Rees

A Deadly place kicker, Gareth is the Club's record points scorer. He is in his second spell at Sudbury having played for Newport (Wales) and Merignac (France).

He first joined Wasps in '85 and at 18 played in a Twickenham Cup Final, he re-joined the club at the start of the '96 season from Newport and was the top points scorer in the league that year and was also chosen as the Wasps player of the year as the club swept to the League Title.

Last season saw him finish once again as the club's leading points scorer and even though Wasps struggled he once again finished near the top of the English first class points scoring charts.

A Canadian international, he has played in all three World Cups for his country, his kicking is sure to be a vital part of Wasps title challenge in the coming campaign.
