Gloucester’s Williams named Player of the Season

After a stellar debut campaign with Gloucester, Wales scrum-half Tomos Williams has been named Premiership Player of the Season.

The 30-year-old joined Gloucester from Cardiff in 2024 after being capped 65 times for Wales.

He nearly missed the play-offs by two points as Gloucester placed fifth overall in the Premiership.

Williams’ performances helped him make the British and Irish Lions squad for the Australian tour this summer.

“I had no idea what to expect from this season,” she said. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and am open-minded since I arrived. I couldn’t have chosen a better club than Gloucester, which had excellent coaches, Williams said.

Following a stunning campaign, Northampton Saints flanker Henry Pollock won the Breakthrough Player of the Season award.

After playing for only 30 minutes in the Premiership the previous year, the 20-year-old made himself a regular for the Saints first team.

He is the Saints’ youngest addition to the British and Irish Lions’ squad this summer, and his performances have allowed them to reach the Champions Cup final.

“The last 12 months have accelerated at a rate I probably wouldn’t have anticipated them to,” Pollock said.
