Mat Gilbert: Bath forward on being a deaf rugby player
Bath forward Mat Gilbert tells BBC Points West about how he deals with being a deaf professional rugby union player.
The 27-year-old moved to the Rec in November on a deal until the end of the season after spells at Scarlets and Mogliano in Italy.
Head coach Gary Gold says it is humbling to watch Gilbert - "a fantastic human being" - overcome the challenges he faces every day and adds that he should be an inspiration to young rugby players.
