Christian Powys

When Powys joined the Vaders at the very beginning he and everyone else was unsure what position he would occupy. After trying the wing, midfield and full back, he finally settled in as centre back and has been there ever since. Very quiet, after a while he decided to start talking, and once he grew in confidence he got better and better each game, culminating in winning a deserved Player of the Year award for 2011/12.

Works well alongside a ‘talker’ in the back like Cwtch or Sainsbury, he makes tackle after tackle, clearance after clearance, and also has the composure to pick out a nice pass from defence. Suffered with a couple of niggling injuries, the Vaders will be hoping he can stay fit throughout the season to provide the stability needed at the back.

Tall, fast and a great tackler, Powys, despite being a very quiet individual, has a competitive streak inside which allows him to perform at his best almost every week. And he sure does put up a great net. Powys is simply a Vaders’ Vader. Finally, knowing how much he’d like the boys to stop talking about it, there will be no mention of his penis on here. Oh wait…
