FORMER Wales rugby star Josh Navidi is now thriving as a businessman and DJ.

The ex-flanker hung up his boots last year due to a neck injury.

Navidi played for Cardiff throughout his career and spent nine years in the Welsh side.

He was even made captain for a brief spell in 2019 and represented the British and Irish Lions during their tour of South Africa three years ago.

Navidi is no stranger to falling to the deck for a try – but he is now hitting the DJ decks at venues across Wales.

The 33-year-old is rapidly growing in popularity across the Cardiff nightlife scene.

And he has even spun tracks at the Principality Stadium to build atmosphere ahead of rugby games.

Away from being a DJ, Navidi and a friend run a successful car dealership named Cute Club.

Explaining how he got into the business, the rugby legend told WalesOnline: “It started off with me just buying my own cars, driving them, and then selling them the next year because I’ve always been a petrol head.

“I’ve always had sporty cars but now I go for stuff with less fuel.

“I started going to auctions for my own stuff and then boys were asking me what’s the best VIP deal with all these lease deals that we get offered.

“I was advising some of the Cardiff boys for years on how to get the best deals for cars – some were asking for cars you couldn’t get on the VIP scheme.

“They wanted all sorts like performance cars and one thing led to another.

“Boys started asking about finance and then it led me down that path, then into warranties, and then we would just meet people day to day.

“Now we have got a forecourt, and we are a car dealership which buys and sells cars.”
