Taylor reaches Top 20 all-time Quins appearances list

The 2024-25 Super Rygbi Cymru season may have finished somewhat prematurely, falling in the quarter-final to Ebbw Vale, however it has been something of a stellar season for one Quins stalwart.

30-year-old lock Lee Taylor made his Carmarthen Quins debut in a victory over Llandovery in September 2014.

Fast forward ten seasons and Taylor has become a cornerstone of the Quins squad, making 226 appearances and scoring 11 tries.

He now sits 18th on the all-time Quins appearances list* alongside some of the club’s greats.
