Reuben Morgan-Williams signs pro deal with Ospreys

Ospreys Rugby have announced that 19-year old scrum-half, Reuben Morgan-Williams, has signed his first professional contract with his home region.

The teenager has been rewarded for the progress shown over the last 12 months, which has seen him gain Guinness PRO14 and Anglo Welsh Cup experience.

Dan Griffiths, Rugby General Manager at the Ospreys, welcomed the news saying:

“Signing your first professional contract is always a big moment for a young player coming through the ranks. Reuben, his family, and all those who’ve worked with him through the pathway can take great pride in this news. 

“He’s a talented individual and an exciting prospect who supporters will get to see more of in the coming weeks and months. He is a gifted athlete, with the ability to beat defenders with his pace and agility. The challenge for Reuben will be to lead and navigate the team with his communication and decision making, which will improve as he gains experience in the senior environment."

Morgan-Williams came through the development pathway via Neath Athletic RFC, educated at YGG Ystalyfera and Neath Port Talbot College, and representing the Ospreys at age-grade, notably as part of the U18 team that won the 2015 WRU Championship. On the international scene he has been involved with Wales U20 across three separate seasons, enjoying Grand Slam success in 2016, and is targeting his third U20 World Cup this summer.
