Gloucester Land Wales Captain Jac Morgan and Hooker Dewi Lake for 2026/27

The transfers reflect uncertainty from the WRU’s plan to cut a professional region by 2027.

Overview

  • Gloucester confirmed Morgan and Lake will join from Ospreys next season, with director of rugby George Skivington saying the pair significantly bolster the pack.
  • Both players remain eligible for Wales under the 25-cap selection policy, with Morgan’s two British & Irish Lions caps counting toward the threshold.
  • Morgan is recovering from a shoulder injury that reports say could rule him out of the 2026 Six Nations.
  • Ospreys said they tried to keep the duo, while the WRU pledged to retain top talent and noted some players will pursue opportunities elsewhere during restructuring.
  • A day after unveiling the signings, Gloucester announced Wales scrum-half Tomos Williams will leave at season’s end and moved to re-sign veteran No. 9 Dan Robson.
