Sebastian "Seb" Nagle-Taylor (born 16 September 1994) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a Number eight for Gloucester.

Club career

Born in Winchester, Nagle-Taylor spent his childhood in Hong Kong, starting to play rugby aged nine in the Valley RFC academy.[1][2][3] In 2007, he went back to England in Sussex, joining Eastbourne College in Gonville House. There he ended up captaining both XV and the 7s team, following the steps of rugby players such as Hugo Southwell or Will Green.[1][4]

From 2012 to 2015 he did a degree in History at the University College London, starting his club career in the meantime.[2] Sebastian first signed for the National League 1 side Rosslyn Park, but actually making his debut on loan in Barking.

He had previous experience in the RFU Championship with Bedford Blues, Ealing Trailfinders and Jersey Reds.[5] He signed for third division Rotherham Titans in the National League 1 for the 2018-19 season, where he captained the side on numerous occasions.[6] On 3 May 2019, Nagle-Taylor returns to the Championship with Hartpury University for the 2019-20 season.[7]

He joined Gloucester in the Premiership Rugby on a short-term loan during the 2020-21 season. His impressive performances lead him to sign a permanent deal with the Premiership side from the 2021-22 season. He will return to Hartpury back for the next Championship season before permanently joining Gloucester in the summer of 2021.[8]

International career

Nagle-Taylor made his debut with England Counties U20 against Georgia U20s,[9] later also being involved with the England Students, a selection of university students.[1][10]

Nagle-Taylor played with England Sevens during the 2014-15 season.[2][11]
