Merigan is an exceptionally promising back row player who primarily operates at the No.8 position. He has demonstrated his talent and potential while representing England U20s alongside several other Bath Academy players.
One of Merigan's key strengths is his ability to provide go-forward momentum for his team. He excels in ball-carrying, consistently beating defenders and creating opportunities to break down opposition defenses. His attacking threat is substantial, thanks to a combination of size, strength, and skill that he brings to his ball-carrying game.
Merigan's aggression in contact, coupled with his intelligent approach to ball carries, allows him to create offload opportunities that can enhance the team's attacking play and challenge the opposition's defense. In addition to his attacking prowess, he has made significant strides in his defensive game and has delivered standout performances on the European stage.
Having joined the Bath Rugby pathway at the age of 13, Merigan has long been regarded as a highly promising back row player. His exceptional ball-carrying skills have already earned him five appearances for England U18s. Throughout the 2018/19 season, he made notable progress in his defensive abilities and delivered impressive performances in the U18 Academy league.
As a former student of Beechen Cliff School, Merigan's potential was recognized, leading to his signing of a Senior Academy contract with Bath Rugby ahead of the 2019/20 season. With his outstanding skill set and continuous development, Merigan is poised to make a significant impact in the world of rugby.
