Joe Roberts: Scarlets and Wales centre aims for Christmas return

Roberts impressed on his international debut against England in August 2023 in the World Cup warm-up but missed the global tournament in France.

He returned to the Test stage against France before his latest setback.

“The time frame they gave me was anywhere between six and 12 months, but the surgeon said the operation went well and hopefully I should be back before Christmas,” said Roberts.

“I am doing strength testing and that has come back well. Hopefully I should be running within a few weeks.”

Roberts aims to return to the international stage.

“I need to get back on the pitch and perform and get back to where I was and then can start thinking of the future,” said Roberts.

“The ultimate goal would be the next World Cup but I am just looking forward to getting back.”

Scarlets have a young crop of centres with Roberts joined by Eddie James, Macs Page and Johnny Williams following the departure of Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams.

“I based my game off theirs (Davies and Williams),” said Roberts.

“They were great to me to be fair, both of them. They helped me in all sorts of ways, not just on the field, but through my injuries as well. They were great role models.

“It’s different because we have had that old guard for so long, there is a new crop coming through now.”
