Welsh winger Josh Hathaway shines for Gloucester as Louis Rees-Zammit eyes NFL career

Young Welsh winger Josh Hathaway is making a name for himself at Gloucester with his impressive performances on the field. The 20-year-old recently scored a hat-trick in just 13 minutes during a match against Saracens, showcasing his speed and alertness.

Born in Aberystwyth, Hathaway has represented both Wales and England at the under-20 level, sparking a debate about his international future. Gloucester’s director of rugby, George Skivington, praised Hathaway’s talent but also expressed concerns about keeping the young player grounded amidst the growing hype surrounding him.

Skivington highlighted Hathaway’s potential to play for two different nations and emphasized the importance of focusing on his development within the team. With his natural position being full-back, Hathaway has found success on the wing due to his speed and scoring ability.
