Jordan Morris

Welsh back-row Jordan Morris, born on 22 February 2004, is part of the Dragons' loose-forward stocks in the United Rugby Championship. Morris lines up as a flanker, and his profile is that of a young forward whose game is being built on the unglamorous foundations of the position: tackle work rate, ruck contest, support lines off the carry and the discipline to make repeated good decisions under pressure. At a Dragons side that has consistently leaned on its academy pathway and the wider regional pipeline in Welsh rugby, players in his age bracket find their senior exposure across cup competitions and the deeper rotations of a long URC campaign. His career arc, like that of many young Welsh forwards at the regions, will be shaped by how quickly he can convert development opportunities into consistent senior selection and earn the trust of the coaching group when the side's first-choice back-row is unavailable. With his playing years still ahead of him, Morris represents one of the homegrown options the Dragons can turn to as they continue to build their squad through the academy.
