Rugby career

A centre, Wells was an Emerging Wallabies player and made the extended Wallabies squad for the 1991 Rugby World Cup, before the list got trimmed. He was recruited by the ACT Brumbies on the back of a strong 1998 Shute Shield season with Northern Suburbs, which he had helped to a rare grand final appearance. In 1999, Wells featured twice for the Brumbies during their Super 12 campaign and finished the year with a stint at New Zealand provincial team Southland. His professional career was limited by recurring injuries.

Criminal conviction

Wells received a six-year prison sentence in 2017 for the aggravated rape of a 14-year-old girl.
