Career edit

Loxton first played for Glamorgan Wanderers in the 2007–08 season, making 27 appearances over two seasons.[2] He came through the Cardiff Blues academy and made his debut for the Blues on 24 April 2009, against Ulster.[8][9][10] Loxton also played for Cardiff RFC, making his first appearance in September 2009 against Ebbw Vale.[11]

He moved to Connacht Rugby in 2011.[12][13] While potentially eligible to play for Ireland as he has an Irish mother,[14][15] the Welsh Rugby Union reportedly questioned whether (having played at U-20 level for Wales) Loxton was committed to play for Wales at senior level.[16] The International Rugby Board subsequently ruled that he could play for Ireland.[17][18]

Loxton reportedly returned to the Connacht team after a "long-term knee injury" in early 2012,[19] and was included in the Connacht squad (as a potential replacement) for a Heineken Cup game in January 2013.[20] As of February 2013, Loxton was playing for All-Ireland League-side Shannon RFC.[21][22]

Loxton was released from his contract with Connacht Rugby in mid-2013,[23] and subsequently played with Cardiff RFC.[4][24] Loxton departed Cardiff in 2016,[4] and rejoined Glamorgan Wanderers RFC,[2] where he played through the 2021–22 season.[25]
