Jim Hannan (1864 – 22 June 1905) was a Welsh international rugby union player who played club rugby for Newport. A strong tactical forward his scrummaging work was excellent and could pivot the whole scrum around him.[2]
He first played for Newport in the 1884/85 season, but played only the single game. The next season, he was a regular member of the first XV finding himself surrounded by many of the Welsh international forwards.[3] In the 1891/92 season Hannon was part of the unbeaten Newport team.
