He made a further appearance in that season against Surrey. In the following season, Rhys made five first-class appearances for Glamorgan, the last of which came against Sussex, which was also his final match for the county. Rhys made a total of seven first-class appearances for Glamorgan, scoring 147 runs at an average of 12.25, with a high score of 35. In that same season he also made two further first-class appearances: one for the Free Foresters against Cambridge University, in which he recorded his only first-class half century with a score of 73, while another appearance came for Wales against the Marylebone Cricket Club. Rhys later appeared in a single Minor Counties Championship match for Monmouthshire against Berkshire in 1934.
He died at Llandaff, Glamorgan, on 18 March 1970.
