John Davies first joined Port Talbot Harriers in 1967. After concentrating his energies on rugby and raising a family, he re-joined in 1983. Since then, he has fulfilled many roles within the club and is currently a life member and president.

From its foundation in 1921, Port Talbot Harriers has been an athletic force within the community and throughout Wales. Founder member A. E. 'Arthur' Williams was the backbone of the club for over 60 years, and without him there would have been no club at all. Considerable expansion of the membership took place during the 2010s, and a multisport section was added.

The Harriers have seen many changes in personnel and have had a rather nomadic existence. Hard work by the committee has seen the club established at a permanent base in the grounds of Port Talbot Cricket Club, where the members can be found on regular training nights.
