Cardiff Rugby have today welcomed Will Rigg and Osian Roberts to the club on short-term loan deals.

Following injuries to Mason Grady, Harri Millard, Rory Jennings and Elijah Evans, the Blue & Blacks have been left short of options in the centre.

However, the club have moved to rectify this with arrival of Exeter Chiefs centre Rigg and Cardiff-born Sale Sharks centre Osian Roberts on loan.

Rigg, who studied at Cardiff Met, burst onto the scene at Coventry where he scored 14 tries in 31 appearances. He joined Exeter Chiefs at the start of 2024, and has since made 23 appearances, crossing the line nine times. The 25–year-old is equally adept and inside or outside centre and is renowned for his physicality.

Meanwhile Roberts, who is a product of the Cardiff pathway and represented the club at Under-16 level, arrives from Sale Sharks on the back of a breakout season for Wales U20s.

The 20-year-old made the move north to study at Kirkham Grammar School, and penned an academy contract with Sale ahead of the 2023-24 season.
