Aberystwyth-born Hathaway offers options at full-back and wing for head coach Gatland.
Warren Gatland is relishing seeing uncapped Gloucester back Josh Hathaway’s potential at first hand after naming him in a Wales training squad for summer Tests against South Africa and Australia.
“He has done some really impressive things for Gloucester on attack this year and we want to bring him in the squad and look to see what we can do with him.” The current group will be reduced to 34 players after the South Africa Test, with Gatland yet to name a captain either for that game or the tour.
“We made a collective decision as a group to develop youngsters,” Gatland added. “We know to do that we have to go through some pain.“I do see light at the end of the tunnel. I was buoyed by periods where we did play well and put quality teams under pressure.
