We are delighted to confirm our senior leadership groups for the 2026/27 season.
For the 1st XV, Owen Young will continue as Club Captain, with Jarrad Rees remaining as Vice Captain. Both have been outstanding leaders on and off the field and will continue to drive the standards, culture and ambition within the squad.
For the Athletic XV, Ben Bowen has been appointed Captain following an excellent season both in his performances and leadership around the group. His experience and commitment will be invaluable as we continue to develop and support the next generation of players coming through the club.
Alongside him, Ethan Wynne will continue as Vice Captain after another exceptional season in Aberdare colours. His dedication, consistency and passion for the club make him a fantastic role model for the squad.
A huge thank you must also go to Steffan Moseley, who steps away from the Athletic captaincy due to work commitments. Steff has been a tremendous servant and leader over the past few seasons, and we look forward to him continuing to play a major role whenever available.
With a talented blend of experience and youth throughout both squads, we’re excited for what lies ahead in 2026/27.
Head over to our website to hear from our captains, vice captains and coaching team as they share their thoughts on the appointments.
