Kirby Myhill (born 5 February 1992) is a Welsh rugby union rugby player currently playing at Hooker for Llanelli RFC and the Scarlets regional team having progressed through the Scarlets academy. He is also a Wales Under-20 international and he was named as Wales captain for the 2012 Under 20 Six Nations tournament.[1] Myhill is the nephew of former Wales international rugby union flanker Mark Perego and brother of fellow Scarlet hooker Torin Myhill.
Myhill made his Scarlets debut in 2011, coming on as a substitute in a 26-15 defeat to Leinster. His first start came later that year, in a 35-12 loss to Munster. So far in his career, Myhill has had to settle for a back-up role in the Scarlets squad, being behind the likes of Matthew Rees, Ken Owens and Emyr Phillips in the pecking order. It was confirmed in April 2016 that Myhill would be moving to Cardiff Blues for the 2016-17 season.
