HIS BELFAST-BORN grandmother has opened up a completely new chapter in 23-year-old Aidan Morgan ’s rugby career.
It helped hugely that Morgan is Irish-qualified and now Ulster boss Richie Murphy is looking forward to seeing him on the pitch after making a positive impression during pre-season. “It’s going to be very exciting to see how he develops, he’s only 23 years of age and he’s got a little bit of Super Rugby experience. It’s a new start for him.”The recent example of Mack Hansen shows how Irish-qualified players can come into the provincial game and rapidly make a big impact for the national team.
“There’s elements of his game we’re trying to get him to work on, but we’re pretty happy with his attitude, his commitment, his work-rate. He’s sitting outside the room here doing video clips from yesterday and today’s his day off.Morgan will be competing with Jake Flannery and James Humpherys for the number 10 shirt in Ulster, while fullback/wing Mike Lowry has also played at out-half in the past.
