Wales Rugby League head coach John Kear says Danny Jones was known throughout the game as “a real good fella”. 29-year-old Welsh international Jones died after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest while playing for Keighley Cougars against London Skolars. Kear said he’d tried to convince Jones to play for Wales in the 2014 European Championships. “He was always a great character around the dressing room and obviously a very good rugby league player, otherwise he wouldn’t of played international rugby league,” said Kear. “He was a half back so he was one of the conductors of the orchestra. He was very creative, very competitive and a really good try scorer and goal kicker“ he added. This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on Monday 4 May 2015.
