Jacob Cowley (born 3 January 1997) is a New Zealand rugby union player who plays for Scarlets regional team as a centre or as a wing.[1]
Cowley made his debut for the Scarlets regional team on 30 October 2015 in a match against Newport Gwent Dragons. This game was particularly special for Cowley as he played alongside his father, All Black Regan King, in this match becoming the first father-son duo to appear in the Pro12 and the first in any Welsh team since 1998 when Keith Colclough lined up alongside his son Dean when Swansea RFC defeated Bridgend RFC.[2][3]
