Gloucester Closing In on Wales Captain Jac Morgan as Dewi Lake Also Linked

Uncertainty over the WRU's plan to cut a professional side is accelerating departures from Ospreys.

Overview

  • ESPN reports Morgan is close to a three-year deal at Gloucester, with multiple sources expecting the move to be finalized.
  • Hooker Dewi Lake has also been linked to Gloucester, and both players are out of contract at the end of the season.
  • The WRU has proposed reducing the professional men's regions from four to three, leaving Ospreys' future unresolved and influencing player decisions.
  • More than 80 Wales-based players are out of contract at season's end, heightening fears of a broader talent drain to England and France.
  • Morgan remains eligible for Wales selection due to 26 total caps including two for the Lions, though a shoulder injury from November could threaten his 2026 Six Nations involvement.
