With Cardiff’s outside back stocks taking a hit of late, they have brought in former rugby league convert Regan Grace from Bath, effective immediately.

Cardiff currently has multiple players out with injuries, with Theo Cabango, Iwan Stephens, Mason Grady and Harri Millard all sidelined and unavailable.

The 28-year-old winger joined Cardiff on Monday, starting training in preparation for this weekend’s European Challenge Cup away fixture against Perpignan.

Talking to the cub after signing, Grace was excited to get going in Wales. 

“I’ve always been excited about Cardiff, it’s a big, historical club and a lot of legends have played here,” said Grace.

“Coming back to play on home soil has also always been something I have wanted to do, so to do that in the capital city is a great opportunity.”

Grace was aware of many others who have converted from the 13-man code across to rugby union, especially the former Cardiff players.

Grace represented St Helens 142 times and scored 88 tries, winning three Super League titles with the club.

“I’m very much aware of all the dual-code legends who have played for, or come through, Cardiff, so to follow in those footsteps is pretty cool.

“There’s a lot of competition in the back-three, from someone like Josh Adams, who is already a legend of the game, a British Lion who is so consistent for Wales, to guys like Theo Cabango and Gabe Hamer-Webb.

“So it’s a good, competitive environment and I’m looking forward to learning as much as possible from all those guys.

“I just want to play, to be able to put together back-to-back matches, be consistent and keep learning. You learn from playing and I’m looking forward to putting my hand up for selection.”

Head coach of Cardiff Matt Sherratt praised Grace’s ability.

“We’re pleased to bring Regan to the club, he is a great addition, in a position where we needed reinforcement,” Sherratt said.

“He is obviously an incredibly exciting player but he is also a really good person and professional.

“Everyone we have spoken to, could not have spoken highly enough of Regan.

“He impressed during the summer with Wales and we are excited to see what he can achieve as he continues his transition to union within our environment.”

I Could Hardly Breathe! Months of tireless fundraising had finally come through for my small nonprofit, and we had $300,000 in Bitcoin to supply food, shelter, and medical aid to refugees fleeing war. That fund was hope, a future for families who had no other place to turn. It all fell apart in an instant. Our treasurer, a man I'd trusted like a brother, vanished overnight and took the entire fund with him. I was heartbroken. The weight of the people who were depending on us pressed against my chest. I could hardly breathe. I looked at my screen, powerless to do anything as the blockchain ledger confirmed my worst nightmare, the funds had been moved through a series of wallets, vanished into thin air.

Sleepless and remorseful, I consulted a crisis management expert in a desperate phone call. With the calm, panic-slashing tone of her voice, she spoke GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Her confidence was the sort that spoke of seen miracles. At that straw of hope, I grasped and called them immediately.

From that first call, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES treated my case like those refugee lives were in their own hands. Their lead investigator explained their approach, tracing transactions through blockchains, monitoring wallet activity, and leveraging relationships with international exchanges. They explained it all in plain terms, never once making me feel dumb for my ignorance. They understood both the technical complexity and the human stakes.

There were daily progress reports. They followed the laundering path our treasurer had attempted, following the trail through the decentralized exchanges and privacy-focused mixers. Each breakthrough was like a heartbeat resuscitating a stilled chest. On the nineteenth day, they called with the words I had scarcely dared to hope: "We got it back."

I got down on my knees and wept. $300,000 was safely recovered to our nonprofit wallet. But GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn't hesitate. They guided us through implementing enhanced security measures, such as multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and rigorous internal oversight. They even advised us on vetting future financial officers.

Our mission is stronger today than ever. Refugee families are still being assisted, and I sleep well knowing our funds are secure. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES not only retrieved our Bitcoin, they restored my faith in resiliency and human kindness.
