A RUGBY star is set to make an appearance at a Flintshire bookshop later this year.
Welsh International Rugby Player Dan Biggar will be signing copies of his book "The Biggar Picture: My Life In Rugby".
The event will take place at The Mold Bookshop on Tuesday, September 24 at 12pm.
Tickets - which can be purchased here - are required for this event (£22) and will include a copy of "The Biggar Picture".
After 15 years at the very pinnacle of test rugby, leading the most successful squad in Welsh history, Dan Biggar is ready to tell his story.
Now playing for Toulon in France, the fly-half's career also saw him earn 112 caps for Wales, before retiring from international duty in 2023.
Speaking in his book, he adds: "When I reflect on it all, I can say without any doubt that I gave it everything."
The book's synopsis reads: "Biggar has never fitted the mould. Throughout his long and decorated career, he has had to confront the critics, to silence the cynics.
"His playing style has been described as brash, aggressive and forthright, and it has earned him a reputation he has never been able to shake.
"But to anyone who knows him off the pitch, he is one of the most grounded ambassadors the game could ask for.
"Honest and self-critical, Dan offers a rare insight into his personal and professional life. He talks candidly of his place within rugby, from the Premiership through to the Lions, and of the power dynamics within Wales’ most successful squad ever.
"He also opens the changing room doors and explores his relationships with past team mates, coaches and managers, from Warren Gatland and Shaun Edwards to Alun Wyn Jones and Wayne Pivac."
Dan Biggar was born in Morriston, Swansea, and his career began in the Welsh Premiership for his hometown team.
He made his Ospreys debut as an 18-year-old and became the youngest player ever to play in 100 games for the Ospreys.

Since then, he has played for the English Premiership side Northampton and for French heavyweights Toulon.
He has also been at the heart of Welsh rugby’s most iconic moments of the past decade, including two Grand Slams, a record victory over England, a World Cup semi-final, and a first ever victory on South African soil.
He’s toured twice with the British and Irish Lions and started every test in the 2021 series.
In 2015, Biggar won the BBC Cymru Sports Personality of the Year Award.
The Biggar Picture is his first autobiography which tells all and guests in Mold will get the chance to meet the man himself.
