Gloucester swoop to sign Wales skipper Jac Morgan
Wales captain Jac Morgan will join Gloucester ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The 25-year-old British and Irish Lions back-rower will end a four-year spell at the Ospreys amid an uncertain time in the domestic game with the Welsh Rugby Union proposing to cut one of its four men’s professional sides.
“I’m delighted to sign for Gloucester Rugby ahead of the 2026-27 season,” Morgan told the club website.
“It’s a great club with brilliant supporters. I know a lot of players at Gloucester who speak highly of the environment, and I’m excited for the future.
“I’m also looking forward to the challenge of playing in the Gallagher Prem.”
Gloucester have also confirmed the signing of 26-times capped Wales hooker Dewi Lake from Ospreys ahead of next season.

Another significant nail in the coffin of the Ospreys (and ultimately Welsh rugby). It will be champagne and caviar this evening in Westgate Street as Reddin and Collier-Keywood celebrate an early Christmas present.
Plenty of cash in the coffers of English clubs unlike Welsh clubs who are almost potless. How are the cross border clubs so wealthy?
Was about to say this. Finances are big difference between England and wales. They have more money from broadcasters, sponsors – English rfu gets 50 million a year from hospitality at twickers alone. It’s effects whole eco system – we have less to spend on youth pathways or bring in seasoned internationals to mentor the early career pros, or coaches at regional level. Basically we’re slowly being priced out of being competitive. Oh and the WRU is a shambles
It has all been worked out. Starve the other three nations of cash so that England will be the only shining country for all the world to see.
Not sure about that. Ireland is fairly minted, Scotland not great but far far better shape than us. Performance on the pitch roughly matches the financial strength of each company. We are turning into the northern hemisphere version of tonga- lots of good players but they play abroad and rarely train together!
