Shaun Connor is a former Wales 7s international rugby union player. He was part of the Ospreys team that defeated Australia, where he played a crucial role and was named Man Of The Match. He is now the backs coach at the Dragons and has previously also coached the Wales under 18 team.
Connor played for Abertillery RFC, Ebbw Vale RFC, Newport RFC and also Neath RFC.
Connor played for the Ospreys. A fly half, he scored a total of 456 points for the Ospreys and was influential in their historic 24–16 win against Australia at the Liberty Stadium.
In April 2008 it was announced Connor would join Newport Gwent Dragons for the new season on a two-year contract. He was released at the end of the 2009–10 season.
He has never had a full senior cap for the Wales national rugby union team but was reported to be on Gareth Jenkins 2006 Rugby World Cup standby list alongside another ex Ebbw Vale and Newport fly half Jason Strange.
