Alan David Reynolds (born 24 January 1966) is a Welsh former rugby union international.
Born in Carmarthen, Reynolds is known as "Santa", a nickname which came about because his parents owned the Santa Clara Pub in St Clears.[1] He played his early rugby with Whitland RFC.[2]
Reynolds, a flanker, spent most of his career with Swansea RFC and earned three caps for Wales.[3] He was capped twice on the 1990 tour of Namibia and played against Australia at Cardiff in 1992.[4]
