The Board of Directors of Ballymena RFC wish to express their sincere condolences following the passing of Russell Nelson on Friday 30th January in Cape Town.
Russell moved to Ulster in 2000, where he went on to make 30 senior appearances for the province.
Alongside his provincial career, he captained Ballymena RFC to All-Ireland League success in 2003, an achievement that holds a special place in the history of our club.
Russell’s contribution to Ballymena RFC and to Ulster Rugby will be remembered with respect by all who were associated with him.
Our thoughts are with his devoted wife, Caroline, his sons Marc and Adam, his stepdaughter Emma, and his parents, Don and Barbara.
