Jac Morgan (born 1 February 2000) is a Welsh rugby union player. Morgan plays in the backrow. He plays rugby for the Ospreys.[1][2]

Early life[]

Morgan was born in Sketty, Wales. He gave up a mechanical engineering apprenticeship to pursue professional rugby union.[3]

Club career[]

Morgan came through the Scarlets academy and made his debut in the Challenge Cup clash with London Irish in November 2019. Morgan then scored his first professional try in the Pro 14 defeat to Ulster.[4]

After returning from a knee injury in February, Morgan crossed for two tries in a man-of-the-match display against Benetton, before putting in 25 tackles to help the Scarlets claim a crucial victory over Edinburgh. This led to Morgan being voted Scarlets Player of the Month for February.[5]

In March 2021, it was announced that Morgan would join local rivals Ospreys following expiration of his contract.[6]

Morgan can play at blindside, no 8 and open side flanker.[3] He is relatively small compared to most,[7] but not all,[8] top international players in these positions.

International career[]

In the Six Nations Under 20s Championship 2019-20 he captained Wales[9] and achieved more turnovers than any other player in this tournament.[10]
