Jac Morgan (born 21 January 2000) is a Welsh rugby union player, who plays in the backrow for the Ospreys, Wales, and the British and Irish Lions. He was the captain of the Wales national rugby union team.[1][2] He is a fluent Welsh speaker.[3]
Morgan was born in Sketty, Swansea, and grew up in Brynamman. He first began playing rugby at Cwmtwrch RFC where he remained for 10 years, from age 6 to 16. He attended school at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, and gave up a mechanical engineering apprenticeship to pursue professional rugby union.[4]
Club career
In early 2018, Morgan signed with Aberavon RFC's senior team to play in the Welsh Premiership.[5]
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.[6]
After returning from a knee injury in February, Morgan crossed for two tries in a player 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.[7]
In March 2021, it was announced that Morgan would join local rivals Ospreys following expiration of his contract.[8] He began his Ospreys career in great form, being awarded player of the match in their 18–10 victory over Munster on 23 October 2021.[9] He was overlooked for selection for the Wales for the upcoming Autumn test series, despite recognition from press and pundits alike.[10]
Morgan was named player of the match on 20 January 2023, scoring an 88th minute try as the Ospreys beat Leicester Tigers at Welford Road, securing their place in the knockouts of the 2022–23 Champions Cup.[11]
In December 2025, he signed for Prem Rugby club Gloucester ahead of the 2026–27 season. Though he was out of contract with the Ospreys at the end of the 2025–26, the decision came alongside the uncertainty of the team being cut altogether as WRU looked to reduce the number of professional teams from four to three.[12][13]
