Rhys Michael Timothy Carré (born 8 February 1998) is a Wales international rugby union player, who currently plays as a loosehead prop for Premiership Rugby club Saracens in England.
Club career
Carré made his debut for Cardiff Blues in 2016, having previously played for the organisation's academy team. He joined Saracens for the 2019–20 season, before returning to Cardiff the following season.
In March 2024, Carré re-signed for Saracens ahead of the 2024–25 season.
International career
Carré made his debut for Wales on 31 August 2019, when he started in a 2019 Rugby World Cup warm-up match against Ireland. He was subsequently selected in Wales' 2019 World Cup squad.
Carré scored his first try for Wales in a 14–10 loss against Scotland during the 2020 Six Nations.
He was selected in the initial 54-player training squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, before later being dropped from the squad for "failing to meet individual performance targets".
As of 2025, he has earned 20 caps for Wales, having not received an international call-up during 2024. Due to the Welsh Rugby Union's 25-cap requirement for overseas-based players, he is currently ineligible to play for his country.
