Angus Lloyd (born 2 October 1992) is an Irish rugby union player for Pro14 and European Rugby Champions Cup side Ulster. He plays as a scrum-half.

Early career

Lloyd was educated at Blackrock College, where he played on the Schools Senior Cup team and then went to Dublin University, where he played on the Universities senior side, winning the colours game against UCD for the first time in his final year in 2015–16. He also played for Dublin University in the inaugural World Universities Cup held in Cambridge in 2015, where Trinity finished as runners-up.

Ulster

Lloyd joined Ulster in Summer 2016 after playing for five seasons at Dublin University Football Club of Trinity College Dublin, the oldest still existing rugby union club in the world. He represented the Ireland Clubs side in a fixture against France in February 2016 and also impressed on trial for Munster Rugby's 'A' side in the same year. He made his Ulster debut off the bench in the 19-8 victory at home to Scarlets on 16 September 2016.[2]

Munster

On 7 November 2016, it was announced that Lloyd had joined Ulster's provincial rival Munster on a short-term loan.[3] On 26 November 2016, Lloyd made his competitive debut for Munster, coming on as a replacement for Duncan Williams in the 2016–17 Pro12 fixture against Treviso at Thomond Park.[4] On 2 January 2017, it was confirmed that Lloyd's contract with Munster had been extended until June 2017.[5] On 15 April 2017, Lloyd started against Ulster and scored a try, his first for Munster, in the southern provinces' 22–20 win. He was a late call-up to the starting XV after Duncan Williams withdrew from the game with an injury.[6]
