Nottingham: So, get this! James Davies, a legend from the Scarlets, has found a gem for the Wales rugby squad. He spotted Ellis Mee while he was playing for Nottingham in the English Championship. How cool is that?
Davies, who’s now working as a recruitment officer, thought Mee would be a great fit for the Scarlets. He even helped bring him to the attention of head coach Dwayne Peel. Talk about having an eye for talent!
Peel was really impressed with Mee’s skills. He mentioned how both Mee and another player, Blair Murray, were under-the-radar signings that could really shine. It’s all thanks to Davies doing his homework and spotting their potential.
Mee’s journey has been pretty wild. He went from Nottingham to Llandovery and now he’s making waves with the Scarlets. Born in Nottingham but with Welsh roots through his mom, he’s really excited about this opportunity.
He said it feels unreal and a bit nerve-wracking, but he’s ready to dive in. The Scarlets players have been super supportive, telling him it’s intense but they’ll help him along the way.
Growing up, Mee looked up to players like Liam Williams, who he’ll now be teammates with. How awesome is that? He’s got some serious skills, especially in the air, and Peel believes he’s got the rugby smarts to match.
Peel compared Mee’s aerial ability to that of an AFL player, which is pretty impressive. He’s excited to see how Mee will handle the step up to international rugby. It’s a big moment for him, and everyone’s rooting for his success!
