🏉 Welsh talent shines in the English spotlight! After being let go by Welsh rugby circles, 23-year-old Josh Carrington is making waves at Bristol Bears. 🌟
Carrington, once considered surplus by the Ospreys academy, seized his opportunity at Bristol, scoring a vital try in his Gallagher Premiership debut with a spectacular 42-24 win against Leicester Tigers. 📈👏
From playing for Cardiff Met in BUCS Super Rugby and Swansea RFC, Carrington’s journey mirrors that of Bristol’s captain, Fitz Harding, showcasing the success of the BUCS programme talent. Pat Lam, Bristol Bears’ director of rugby, is thrilled with his progress, describing him as “another gem” picked up by the club. 💎
Lam is renowned for turning under-the-radar talents into standout players, with stars like Dan Thomas and Callum Sheedy proving the Bears’ magic touch. With names like Louis Rees-Zammit and Kenzie Jenkins also at Bristol, it’s exciting times for Welsh players in the English Premiership! 🇬🇧
