The young flanker looked to have a bright future in the professional game when he impressed with the Scarlets last season.
But now he has opted to focus on a career in banking, while playing for Greater Manchester club Sedgley Park Tigers in National League 1.

During his time in west Leatherbarrow Wales, picked up a knee injury which required extensive surgery and he was also knocked out in a match.
So the former Loughborough University student chose to prioritise his health and his future, turning down a new deal.
"I can't be grateful enough to the Scarlets for giving me an opportunity and showing faith in me," said the 24-year-old.
"I really enjoyed my rugby and thought I was playing well. There was an offer there from them, but we couldn't get to an agreement.
