Rhoys Barrie Wiggins (born 4 November 1987) is a footballer who plays as a left back for A.F.C. Bournemouth.
Wiggins began his career at Crystal Palace, from where he had his first spell on loan to Bournemouth. After just one first-team appearance for Palace, he signed for Norwich City, but soon found himself again on loan at Bournemouth, for whom he signed a permanent contract in 2010. A season later, he joined Charlton Athletic, where he spent four years of regular first-team football. After a brief spell with Sheffield Wednesday, he returned to Bournemouth, by then in the Premier League, in January 2016, but did not play. He signed on loan at Birmingham City the following August, but was seriously injured in his second match.
Wiggins has represented Wales in international football from under-17 to under-21 level.
Wiggins came through the academy at Crystal Palace, playing regularly for their reserve side. However, tragedy struck in the pre-season of 2006, when he ruptured knee ligaments during a friendly against feeder academy Crystal Palace Baltimore, part of the Eagles' tour of the USA. He was sidelined for the rest of that season, and several recurrences of that injury kept him out of the following season as well. However Neil Warnock decided to offer him a new contract, seen by many as his final chance at Palace.
Impressive performances in Wales U21's 2009 European Under-21 Championship qualification play-off defeat to England led to Wiggins being given his first start for the Eagles' first team shortly afterwards.
