}}Idris Arthur Towill (12 November 1909 – 21 September 1988) was a Welsh professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s. He played at representative level for Wales, and at club level for Huddersfield and Keighley as a {{rlp|ce}}.[1][3][4]

Background

He was born in Bridgend district,[5] and he died aged 78.

Early career

A schoolboy international for Wales at rugby union, Towill captained his local rugby union team Bridgend and made four appearances for Glamorgan County before switching codes to rugby league when he signed for Huddersfield in January 1931.[6][7]

Rugby league career

Huddersfield

Towill played 94 matches for Huddersfield, scoring 20 tries, between 1931 and 1936 including a Challenge Cup final appearance in the 1935 final at Wembley Stadium on 4 May 1935. Towill played at right-{{rlp|ce}} and scored Huddersfield's first try in the 8–11 defeat to Castleford.[8] While at Huddersfield, Towill won a single cap for Wales in a 2–19 defeat to England at the Willows, Salford on 27 January 1932; originally selected to play at centre, Towill played the game at {{rlp|so}} due to a pre-match injury to selected stand-off Ivor Davies.[9]

Keighley

In November 1936 Towill signed for Keighley where he played 271 games, scoring 55 tries, until injury ended his career in 1946.[7][10] A second Challenge Cup final appearance was made for Keighley in the 5–18 defeat by Widnes at Wembley in the 1937 final on 8 May 1937.[7]

The end of his career was marked by a joint benefit match with fellow Keighley stalwart, Norman Foster, on 14 May 1946. Towil's select XIII beat Foster's select XIII 41–40.[11]
