Lewis Ludlow

One of the more seasoned figures in Gloucester Rugby's pack, Lewis Ludlow is an England-born openside flanker born on 11 September 1994. Over a long association with the Cherry and Whites, Ludlow has built his reputation as a relentless, abrasive operator: a back-rower who lives in the contact area, hunts turnovers and sets the defensive tone for those around him. His leadership has been a defining feature of his Gloucester career, and he is regarded as a player who leads through actions as much as words, putting in the hard yards that often go unnoticed on the scoresheet. A genuine seven in the traditional mould, Ludlow combines a high tackle count with a nose for the breakdown steal, making him a valuable presence in the grind of a long Premiership season. Experience and durability are central to his value, offering Gloucester a dependable forward who understands the demands of top-flight rugby and the importance of consistency week to week. As one of the more established names in his position, Ludlow continues to bring grit, organisation and competitive edge to the Gloucester back row, the qualities that have underpinned his standing in the English game.
