Gavin Henson joins London Welsh

Aviva Premiership newcomers London Welsh have given Gavin Henson the chance to kick-start his stuttering career.

The 30-year-old former Wales international's rugby union career has been in a nose-dive for several years and he has been without a club since being sacked by Cardiff Blues over his drunken behaviour on a flight returning from a game in Glasgow in April.

However, Exiles coch Lyn Jones, who worked with Henson during their time together at the Ospreys, believes in the player, saying: "Gavin has a great talent but, over the past three or four seasons, he has not realised his full potential for a number of reasons that are well documented.

"I sincerely hope and believe he can now draw a line under that period and move forward again with London Welsh.

"What's important for Gavin is that he concentrates 100 per cent on his game and learning how to become the best he can possibly be again. I think he can add a great deal to our game and we can also do a lot for him.

"We all appreciate the skills that he can bring to a game but what team-mates and coaches will be looking for is consistency of that ability."

Henson played a key part in Wales' 2005 and 2008 Grand Slam campaigns, and toured New Zealand with the British and Irish Lions in 2005, but has done very little of note on the pitch in the last four years.

Before joining Cardiff, Henson had had short spells with Ospreys, Saracens and Toulon, where he failed to impress.

Leicester are currently bet365’s 15/8 favourites to win the 2012/13 Aviva Premiership, with Saracens 3/1 and Harlequins 7/2.
