Fred Jowett (rugby)

Fred Jowett (1879 – 5 October 1939)[3] was a Welsh rugby union player who represented Wales, and the British Lions.

He made his début in an experienced team, with only George Travers of Pill Harriers earning his first cap alongside Jowett.

The match was a one sided affair, with Wales winning 21–5, thanks to a hat-trick of tries from Jehoida Hodges.

Jowett was a high scoring wing, and his 1902/03 season tally of 42 tries for Swansea is still a club record to this day.

[3] In 1905 the draw of professionalism proved too strong, and Jowett headed north to play for Hull Kingston Rovers, severing his ties with rugby union forever.
