Jason spent two years with the Dragons Academy before joining making his senior debut in April 2008. Equally able at fullback and outside half, Jason shows an exceptional composure and maturity on the ball which makes him a great asset to the side in either position.
Although it was originally planned for Jason to play predominantly for Newport in the 2008/09 season, a combination of injury problems within the regional side and Jason’s exceptional performance meant that he quickly became a fixture in the Men of Gwent side.
An exciting young talent, Jason made his Newport debut against Aberavon in 2006 at Rodney Parade and became youngest ever Newport Premier League player. He scored 2 tries from fullback against Maesteg Sept 16th 2006 and became Newport's youngest Premier League scorer.
The versatile back has racked up more records on the way, becoming the first ever Dragons player to get a try hat-trick in a competitive match when he went over the line 3 times against Ulster in 2009 and then breaking the record for points scored in a match against the Ospreys in the LV= Cup in January 2010 with 2 conversions and 7 penalties to his name.
Representing Wales at Under 20 level, Jason was named in the senior Welsh squad to tour North America in 2008, but a Heineken Cup playoff prevented him from taking up his spot. He was one of a handful of young players invited to train with the Welsh team during the 2009 Autumn Internationals.
