Alex Cuthbert took up rugby at Hartpury College at the age of 16 after previously spending his time playing football and show jumping.
He was first spotted by Wales playing for a Marauders Sevens team in the Middlesex Sevens and would go on to play for Wales on the World Rugby Sevens circuit.
His Cardiff RFC debut came against Pontypool I January 2011, but with several senior players being involved in the Rugby World Cup in September/October 2011 he was called into the senior side. He became a key figure for Cardiff Blues after his try-scoring debut against Benetton Treviso in 2011. A matter of months after his regional debut, the wing would make his bow on the international scene, as a replacement against Australia.
A prolific try scorer, Cuthbert scored the Six Nations clinching tries in Wales' 2012 and 2013 campaigns, and was awarded with a place in the British and Irish Lions squad for the 2013 tour of Australia, where he would score a try in the first try.
At the end of the 2017-8 season Alex moved to the South West of England to play for the Exeter Chiefs and later joined the Ospreys.
He played five games for Cardiff RFC scoring three tries.
