Ben Carter (born 23 January 2001) is a Welsh rugby union player who plays as a lock for United Rugby Championship side Dragons and the Wales national team.[1]

Club career

Carter was named in the Dragons first-team squad for the 2020–21 Pro14.[2] He made his Dragons debut in Round 4 of the 2020–21 Pro14 against Munster.[3]

International

Carter has captained Wales at both U18 and U19 level and represented the country at the 2020 U20 Six Nations.[4] Following impressive displays for the Dragons, Carter was called up to the senior Wales squad for the 2021 Summer Internationals, despite still being young enough to play for the Under-20 side, with Wales coach Wayne Pivac comparing the young Carter to Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones.[5] Carter made his debut in the 68-12 win over Canada in a performance that saw him named man of the match.[6] Carter made his Six Nations debut on 5 February 2022 against Ireland, coming on as a second-half substitute for Will Rowlands.[7]
