Born in Bridgend, the fan favourite went on to play for Rugby.
At international level, the 35-year-old also played for and the British and Irish Lions, making 33 appearances for the Dragons.
He eventually retired in 2023 after suffering a serious neck injury, having won three titles, including a Grand Slam in 2019.
But almost three years on, Josh Navidi left fans gobsmacked when he showed off his new career.
During Sunday’s Premiership Cup final, played out between Leicester Tigers and Chiefs, he was seen at the Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
But instead of a typical role many ex-players move into such as punditry, he was seen in the DJ booth.
Navidi was picked up on cameras in full DJ mode in the booth.
He was DJing in both the pre-match and half-time show.
That came a day after he was seen DJing for Wales as they beat in the Six Nations.
Stunned fans on social media said: “That’s a sight! Bet his mixing skills are as solid as his tackling.
Is that? Surely not?
