A memorial fund has been created in tribute to former Neath scrum-half Gareth Jones who passed away earlier this month.
The 28-year-old died in hospital following a serious spinal injury sustained playing for his club in April.
In response to the overwhelming number of messages and floral tributes received since his passing, Jones' family has set up a memorial fund in his name.
A statement released by the club said, "The Gareth Jones Trust Fund has been opened to help ensure his three children Courtney, Cole and Connie will have money available to help provide for their everyday needs.
"With his daughter Connie now only four months old and the eldest of his children Courtney only eight this will be a big task. We ask that any individuals or companies wishing to make a contribution to this young family please send their cheques to: Neath Rugby Ltd, 13 Old Market Street, Neath, SA11 3NA and we will pass these onto his family. Cheques should be made payable to "The Gareth Jones Trust Fund".
"Neath Rugby will be arranging a number of fundraising events during the season to help boost this fund and these will be promoted on our web site - please keep an eye on our site for details of these events."
Gareth's family have been overwhelmed by the kindness showed to them by so many people from all works of life and would like to thank everybody we has paid their respect and thought of them in this difficult time.
