Jack Bancroft (9 October 1879 – 7 January 1942),[1] born John Bancroft, was a Welsh cricketer, and rugby union international. He was a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper who played for Glamorgan. Bancroft also played rugby for Swansea RFC.[2] He was born and died in Swansea.

Bancroft's brother, Billy, was a Welsh rugby international and the first paid professional for the Glamorgan cricketing side. His father William was groundsman at St. Helen's rugby and cricket ground, and Jack showed great interest and skill in both cricket and rugby from an early age.

Rugby career

[edit]

As well as playing for Swansea at club level, Bancroft was capped eighteen times for the Welsh national team. He gained his first international cap in 1909 replacing the injured Bert Winfield.[3] against England. During Bancroft's career he scored 19 points against France in the 1910 international, at the time a record for a Welsh player in a single match.[4] His final game for Wales was against France in 1914.
