Outside the court, Gwent Police’s officer in the case, PC Lewys Davies, said: "On April 7, 2019, Gifford assaulted his victim leaving him in such a serious condition that he required an operation and was unable to work.

"Gifford has shown no remorse throughout the investigation and attempted to blame others for his own actions.

"I would like to thank the victim for his courage and resilience throughout this case."
