Gavin Roberts (born 1984) is a Welsh rugby union footballer, currently playing at Centre for Caldy in National League 2 North. During his career with Caldy Roberts has scored over 1,200 points, including 114 tries, making him one of the most prolific point and try scorers in National League 2 North history.
Growing up in Flintshire, Roberts attended Argoed High School in Bryn Y Baal. He first started playing senior rugby at Mold playing in the regional Welsh leagues, and was a regular in the side that went unbeaten in the league during the 2005-06 season and became the WRU Division Four North champions. The next year, he was in the Mold that did the double, once more winning the WRU Division Four North league title, and also winning the North Wales Cup, 29-6 over Colwyn Bay.
In 2007 Roberts left Wales to move across the border to England, signing for the Wirral-based club, Caldy, playing in National Division 3 North. He first season at Caldy was as a squad player, filling in behind then regular, Simon Mason, making 16 league appearances and scoring 70 points, mostly from the boot. After an acceptable debut season in which his club would finish 5th in the league, the 2008-09 season would see Roberts become a first-team regular in a Caldy side that would finish up as league runners up to champions, Nuneaton. Usually there was a promotion playoff between the runners up of National Division 3 North and National Division 3 South but due to re-shake of the entire league system by the RFU there would be no playoff that year. On a personal note the 2008-09 season was a career best for Roberts as he scored 290 points from just 22 games to finish as the league's top scorer. Despite missing out on promotion the year would end on a high for Roberts as he made a match winning performance in the Cheshire with 15 points (including a try) as his side overturned a 15-0 half time deficit to defeat Hertfordshire 30-22 in the final of the County Championship Shield held at Twickenham Stadium.
