Ollie Olds (born 14 August 1993) is a Welsh professional rugby league footballer who plays as a stand-off or scrum-half for the Swinton Lions in the RFL Championship and Wales at international level.[1][2][3]

Background

Olds was born in Bridgend, Wales.

Club career

A former Wales under-16's international, Olds joined the Leeds Rhinos on trial in 2011, and later joined the club on a permanent basis, becoming the regular scrum-half in their under-20's team.[citation needed] During his time at Leeds Rhinos, Olds played two games for York City Knights on dual registration.[citation needed] Olds then joined the South Wales Scorpions in 2013, before heading to Australia to play for Ipswich Jets.[citation needed]

Following multiple knee and ankle operations, Olds initially retired from the sport in 2020,[4] but was persuaded to come out of retirement by his brother.[5]

International honours

Having represented Wales at junior level, Olds made his début for Wales in a mid-season international against France in 2012. He became one of a select number of players to make his international début before his senior début at club level.[6] Olds played in the 2014 and 2015 European Cup tournaments. Olds scored his first international tries in Wales' first game of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup qualifiers, scoring a double against Serbia. Olds scored a try for Wales in their opening match of the 2021 Rugby League World Cup against the Cook Islands. Wales would narrowly lose the match 18-12.[7]
