Ospreys lock Lloyd Peers has announced that he has changed his name to Lloyd Ashley after getting married.

The 24-year-old, who is a former Wales Under-20 international, has the same middle name as his wife Febe, so the couple decided to take Ashley as their new surname.

Ashley told BBC Sport: "We decided to use that as our married name, rather than one of us taking the other's surname.

"By the time I returned for pre-season, I had become Lloyd Ashley. Hopefully, I can leave the injuries behind with Lloyd Peers and Lloyd Ashley can have a good run of games without any problems."

The couple married in Santorini in Greece last month.
