Signing for Ospreys is a homecoming for Moriarty, the son of former Swansea back-row Paul who grew up in the city and took his first steps in rugby with the region’s academy before forging his professional career at Gloucester.<\/p>\n
“It’s quite funny that I’ve come full circle,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I always had an ambition to play for the Ospreys, but it didn’t go that way for me at the time (at the academy), he said.<\/p>\n
“This is where I’m from, my family, my wife, so it makes sense. It’s great to be back.”<\/p>\n
Moriarty has started all three United Rugby Championship fixtures so far this season, impressed with a typically aggressive performances that could fit new Wales head Steve Tandy’s approach.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old insists Wales selection – Tandy names his autumn squad next week – is not his focus.<\/p>\n
But having rediscovered his spark, selection would mark an impressive return for the back-row more than three years since he won the last of his 54 caps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
