Following the Kenfig Hill fixture Club Sponsor Gareth Edwards presented Tom Morgan with the Nathaniel Car Sales Player of Month for October 2023. He also won the award in Dec 2022.

Tom has made 90 senior appearances – 88 for 1sts - for the Ath scoring 12 tries.

Tom is a very versatile player – already this season playing in all 7 games he has played No 8, flanker, lock, and centre. He is an example in training and influence on the players around him.  Tom’s attitude is great for BARFC.

Tom came through the BARFC M&J and Youth Team where he won a Most Promising Player Award. He made an immediate impact at senior level and was signed by Neath and Bridgend Ravens where he impressed with a very physical outlook mainly at No 8.

He played in our Championship seasons converting very successfully to centre –“hard not soft” - as his opponents will testify, before re-joining rugby league side South Wales Scorpions.

Tom re-joined the Ath last season playing in whatever position the Ath need him, and as John mentioned has showed outstanding commitment barely missing a training session. He is a very respected player and talisman, who leads by example and is a figurehead for the youngsters coming through. He was rewarded by winning the BARFC 2022-2023 season Daryl Dyke Memorial Award.
