Gabby Logan’s son stuns fans with incredible body transformation ahead of PREM season

The 21-year-old arrived at Sale from Northampton Saints last summer as one of British rugby's more intriguing young prospects, carrying a famous surname and an enormous physical presence.

Logan had represented England at age-grade level before switching allegiance to Scotland, starting all five matches of their 2025 U20 Six Nations campaign at number eight.

At the time of his move to Sale, director of rugby Alex Sanderson warned that Logan would need to earn his stripes in the Championship before becoming a genuine first-team option.

That's exactly what happened.

Logan spent time on loan with Caldy while continuing his development at Sale, before gradually forcing his way into Sanderson's plans.

After initially being restricted largely to cup rugby, Logan made his first Sharks start against Bath in the PREM Rugby Cup in November 2025.

His progress accelerated during the second half of the campaign, culminating in his first Gallagher PREM start against Newcastle Red Bulls in May 2026, when Sanderson selected him at number eight.

A week later, Logan was retained in the matchday squad for Sale's clash with Bristol Bears, underlining how far he had moved up the pecking order.

Now listed by Sale at 6ft 5in and 115kg, Logan offers the sort of physical profile that immediately separates him from many young back-rowers.

Sanderson recognised that potential immediately after signing him.

“He’s a different type of player to Henry. He’s a big lummox; he is huge, quick and fast,” Sanderson said.

“There is a lot of raw talent there.

“That’s not a Pollock style of player. Pollock is great in the loose and can create something out of nothing with his footwork and agility, as well as his pace.

“This guy is going to be able to dent holes and is more akin to a heavy-hitting, ball-carrying Afrikaaner-type.”

Logan's international future is particularly intriguing.

The son of former Scotland winger Kenny Logan, who won 70 caps for his country, Reuben previously represented England at U18 level before committing to Scotland U20s in 2025.

His mother is broadcaster Gabby Logan, while his grandfather was former Wales footballer and manager Terry Yorath.

With another season of senior rugby now ahead of him, the challenge is no longer simply breaking into Sale's side.

If Logan can turn his flashes of Premiership potential into regular appearances during 2026/27, a first senior international call-up could become a realistic next step.
