Saracens are in the lead to sign Wales captain Jac Morgan as his contract with the Welsh Rugby Union approaches its end. The 25-year-old was seen meeting with Saracens officials recently, just one day after being named skipper for the upcoming autumn internationals.
Jac Morgan’s Current Status
Jac Morgan, who hails from Swansea, has a remarkable rugby career. He has earned 24 caps with the Welsh national team and has made 50 appearances for the Ospreys since 2021. Before joining the Ospreys, he began his professional journey with the Scarlets.
Impending Departure from Wales
Reports indicate that Morgan has informed the Welsh Rugby Union of his intention to leave if the Ospreys are among the clubs facing cuts. This move has sparked concern among team supporters and officials alike.
- Ospreys head coach Mark Jones praised Morgan’s commitment to his current team.
- He highlighted Morgan’s integrity in regard to his teammates and the club.
- The Ospreys would greatly benefit from keeping Morgan, according to Jones.
Upcoming Challenges
Jac Morgan is set to lead his team in four autumn internationals, beginning with a match against Argentina on November 9. He has not played so far this season due to an injury sustained during training, following his participation in the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia.
Interest from Other Clubs
After an impressive series with the Lions, Morgan has attracted significant attention from clubs in the English Premiership and France. Reports from August noted that his profile was already circulating among various teams across the English Channel.
With Saracens now positioned as front-runners for his signature, they are looking to fill the gap left by Tom Willis, who is bound for Bordeaux. The coming months are crucial for Morgan as he navigates his future in professional rugby.
