Barny Langton

Barny Langton is a tenacious openside flanker who has become a key forward for the Dragons in the United Rugby Championship. Born on 26 January 2001, the Welshman is known for his high work rate, his presence at the breakdown and the tenacity he brings to his defensive game. A former age-grade international who came through the Welsh pathway, Langton has developed into a consistent performer for his region, often standing out for his energy and commitment across the eighty minutes. As a flanker he acts as a vital link between the forwards and backs, hunting turnover ball, making his tackles and providing a reliable option in the loose. His combative, all-action style makes him a valuable presence in the Dragons pack as the region looks to build and compete. Still in the earlier stages of his senior career, Langton is regarded as an important figure for the Dragons and a player with room to grow further.
