Jack Owlett (born 3 February 1995) is a professional rugby union player. He predominantly plays as a tighthead prop, but can also cover as a loosehead prop.

Education and youth rugby

Whilst studying BA Business and Management, Owlett was a key part of the University of Exeter side which lifted the BUCS title at Twickenham Stadium in 2016.[5] His on-field displays caught the attention of the Exeter Chiefs, who used the A League as an opportunity to look at the tighthead’s potential. The former Scotland Under 20's international was offered a contract with the club following his full-time education.

Career

In November 2016 he made his senior debut for Exeter Chiefs by starting in an Anglo-Welsh Cup clash at home to Cardiff Blues. Chiefs beat Cardiff Blues 62-25 at Sandy Park. He went onto feature two more times in the competition that year, including coming off the bench against Leicester Tigers in the 2016/17 Anglo-Welsh final. Owlett was also part of the team that won the Anglo-Welsh Cup the following year, beating Bath Rugby in the final 28-11.[6]

On 17 January 2019, it was announced that Owlett would be joining Wasps at the end of the 2018-19 season.[7] [8] [9] He made his debut for Wasps against Saracens on 21 September 2019 at the Ricoh Arena.[10]

He joined Worcester Warriors ahead of the 2021–22 season.[11] Due to Worcester entering administration and their holding company being liquidated all players contracts were terminated on 5 October 2022.[12] Owlett joined Esher for the rest of the season, before completing a move to Blackheath ahead of the 2023-24 season.
