As a member of the Northampton Saints academy, Logan is garnering attention for his talent and potential.
Originally starting his rugby journey in the backs, Logan has transitioned into a back-rower. His senior debut for the Saints came in a commanding 55-5 victory over Cambridge RFC in the Premiership Rugby Cup earlier this season, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career.
While Logan had previously been involved in the Scotland pathway, he has since switched his allegiances to England, representing them at both U18 and U20 levels. Additionally, he holds Welsh qualifications through his grandfather Terry Yorath, the former Wales football manager, who hails from Cardiff.
With his multifaceted background and impressive skills on the field, many are tipping Logan for a bright future as a potential international star for England in the coming years.
Reflecting on his upbringing, Logan attributes much of his discipline and focus to his parents’ approach to technology usage. They instilled values of moderation, allowing him access to a phone only when older and limiting certain apps until he reached a certain age. This balanced upbringing has undoubtedly contributed to Logan’s maturity and dedication to his sport.
