Dan Biggar Bio

One of the greats of modern rugby, Dan Biggar made more than 100 appearances for Wales between 2008 and 2023. Plus, he toured with the British and Irish Lions twice (2017 and 2021). He retired from all forms of rugby in 2025. 

Born in Morriston, Swansea in 1989, Dan Biggar came through the Ospreys development pathway. He made his debut for the senior side at the age of 18. Four years later, aged just 22, he became the youngest player to make 100 appearances for the side. 

Biggar stayed with Ospreys until 2018, when he signed for Northampton Saints. During his time with Ospreys, he earned several honours. Most notably, he scored the match-winning conversion in the 2012 Pro12 Grand Final. He then enjoyed continued success with Northampton, where he lifted the Premiership Rugby Cup in 2019.

In 2022, Biggar left Northampton for Toulon. He then represented the French giants for several seasons before he officially hung up his boots at the end of the 2024-25 Top 14 season. 

Dan Biggar made his international debut at the age of 19, having previously played at U18 level for Wales. Despite missing out on the Welsh squad for the 2011 World Cup, he finally got to establish himself in the number 10 shirt and was a key part of Wales' victory in the 2013 and 2021 Six Nations Championships.

Biggar played in the 2015 World Cup, taking over kicking duties from injured Leigh Halfpenny. He kicked an impressive 56 points across the tournament and was instrumental in getting the side through to the quarter-finals. Two years later, in 2017, he also toured New Zealand with the British and Irish Lions. However, he didn't feature in a test on the tour. 

Dan Biggar's greatest achievements for Wales came as a part of the team that claimed the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2019 and Wales' 28th title in the 2021 competition. He also played in every test on the 2021 British and Irish Lions tour. 

Following this, in 2022, he earned his 100th cap for his country and was named as the captain of Wales for the first time. He made his final appearance for his country before his retirement at the 2023 Rugby World Cup

Biggar retired from all forms of rugby at the conclusion of the 2024-25 Top 14 season. We can’t wait to see what he does next.
