Jonathan 'Jon' Bryant (born 14 October 1976, in Aberdare, Wales) is a former Wales Rugby union international.
His previous clubs include Pontypridd RFC, Celtic Warriors, Newport Gwent Dragons and Sale Sharks.
Formerly the player/manager of Merthyr RFC, he is currently the head coach at Barry RFC. Before becoming seriously involved in the world of rugby, Jonathan was a talented footballer who was scouted by many professional clubs before switching codes after an invite to play for his old school, Aberdare Boys Comprehensive, against a select XV.
This game would include his future teammate, Dale McIntosh. Such was his enthusiasm and drive in the game, he was offered a trial by the then Merthyr Tydfil RFC manager (He was also offered a bet by his uncle that if he "dump-tackled" McIntosh he would be financially rewarded and make a talking point in the game few would have anticipated).
After two years at Merthyr, Bryant was offered a trial with Pontypridd along with Robert Sidoli, and he scored a try on his debut against Llanelli RFC. He attained his only international cap as a replacement against Romania on 27 August 2003.
