Cardiff University Rugby continues to develop exciting talent, and few players embody that blend of athletic ability and character quite like Lloyd McEwan-Peters. The second-year student has quickly become a standout figure in the squad, bringing power, pace, and rugby intelligence to the midfield.

From Leeds to Cardiff

Originally from Leeds, McEwan-Peters made the move to Cardiff to pursue both his academic studies and his rugby ambitions. Since arriving at the university, he has made a strong impression with his work ethic and professionalism, establishing himself as an important presence in the backline.

Playing at centre, Lloyd combines physicality with sharp decision-making. His ability to break the gain line, create opportunities for teammates, and defend aggressively in the midfield has made him a key component of Cardiff University’s attacking structure.
