Gabriel Oghre is an English professional rugby union player who previously played for Union Bordeaux Bègles, Wasps and Leicester Tigers in Premiership Rugby. Oghre primarily plays as a hooker.
Club Career:
Oghre began his rugby journey at the Bath Academy after joining from Millfield. Although he did not make a senior appearance for Bath, in July 2017, he signed with Wasps. His club debut for Wasps came in November 2017 against Newcastle Falcons in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, and he made his league debut the following year against Saracens. Oghre had the opportunity to represent Wasps in the final of the 2019–20 Premiership Rugby season, where they finished as runners-up to Exeter Chiefs.
Following Wasps entering administration in October 2022, Oghre and all other players and coaching staff were made redundant. He subsequently joined Leicester Tigers on a short-term deal in November 2022. Oghre made his debut for Leicester as a replacement on 11 December 2022 in a 23-17 win against the Ospreys. He made two more appearances for Leicester before joining Union Bordeaux Bègles for the remainder of the 2022-23 Top 14 season.
International Career:
In April 2017, Oghre represented England at the under-19 level. He also played for the England under-20 team, finishing as runners-up to France in both the 2018 Six Nations Under 20s Championship and the 2018 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.
Oghre's talent and potential were recognized when he was called up to the senior England squad for a training camp in September 2021. Prior to that, he had represented England Under 19s against France in April 2017 and had been part of Bath Rugby's Senior Academy after joining from Millfield School.
During the 2015/16 season, Oghre captained Bath's Under 18s side, impressing with his strong carrying and solid set-piece skills. He continued to develop his game and made his Premiership debut off the bench against Saracens in 2018/19. Oghre then earned a place in the Wasps first-team squad for the 2019/20 season, showcasing his progress in the professional ranks.
