💚🤍♥️🖤🧡 NEW SIGNINGS | TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! 🤍💚♥️🖤🧡

We’ve got two new members of the front row union joining Abertillery BG RFC for the 2026/27 season! 🏉💪

🟢 LOGAN JENKINS — Loosehead Prop
🟢 NIALL OWENS — Ho**er

Both players sign from Ebbw Vale youth and now make the move to Abertillery as they take the next step in their senior rugby journeys. Logan comes home after begining his rugby journey within our mini and junior system.

Logan has already given us a little glimpse of what he can bring, featuring in our pre-season game against Blaenavon and putting in an excellent performance. 👏🔥

Now we’re looking forward to seeing Niall get his opportunity to do his thing in the green and white jersey very soon! 💚🤍♥️🖤🧡

A huge thank you to their player sponsors:

🤝 Logan Jenkins — sponsored by Phillip Powell
🤝 Niall Owens — sponsored by Wilkins Foot Clinic

Two players. One seriously important job — winning the front row battle! 💪😂

Welcome to Abertillery, lads! 🏉💚♥️🖤🧡
