Welsh international rugby star Rhys Webb is set to become an ambassador for Oil 4 Wales
The scrum half, who played for the British and Irish Lions in 2017, has been appointed to the role with the independent Pembrokeshire family-run oil distributor to coincide with his return to Welsh rugby.
The 31-year-old confirmed that he will be returning to play for his former side the Ospreys, after being released from his contract with French side Toulon.
Oil 4 Wales supplies 160 million litres of fuel per annum to 90,000 domestic and commercial customers across Wales.
Its other ambassadors include fellow Welsh rugby internationals Ken Owens, Samson Lee, Dan Biggar and Jonathan Davies.
Mr Webb said: “I am thrilled to be returning to Wales to play for the Ospreys from next season, and look forward to again playing for the region which has been so instrumental to my success.
“Along with my return to Welsh rugby, I also wanted to give back to the fans and Welsh people who have been endlessly supportive of me over the years, while I have played both at home and overseas.
“As such I was delighted to take up the role of ambassador with Oil 4 Wales, which does so much for local communities across the country.
