Bristol Bears utility back Ioan Lloyd is a summer target for Scarlets, according to reports, with the 21-year-old a free agent this summer and his future at Ashton Gate uncertain.
Lloyd has emerged through the Bears academy to become a consistent member of Pat Lam’s first-team squad since signing in 2018 after studying at Clifton College, although he’s yet to fully stamp his place on the first XV. The Cardiff-born starlet has played multiple positions across the backline for the Bears, his versatility sometimes to his detriment.
His breakthrough at Premiership level has also earned him Wales international honours but his two caps were won almost three years ago and although the Wales Rugby Union has dropped its threshold for a call-up to 25, if playing outside the country, Lloyd falls well below that.
