Ollie Blyth-Lafferty (born 6 April 2006) is a Scottish rugby union player who plays as a tighthead prop for Edinburgh Rugby in the United Rugby Championship. He is the younger brother of Edinburgh hooker Jerry Blyth-Lafferty.
Early life Blyth-Lafferty was born and raised in Edinburgh and came through Boroughmuir RFC's youth system from Primary 1, following his father and older brother Jerry into the game. At 16, he had arranged a plumbing apprenticeship before Edinburgh Rugby offered him an academy contract.
Club career After spells with Currie and Heriot's in the Scottish Premiership, Blyth-Lafferty made his Edinburgh debut off the bench against the Ospreys before earning his first start against RC Toulon in the Heineken Champions Cup. He signed his first professional contract in 2025, running until the end of the 2027–28 season.
International career Blyth-Lafferty was ruled ineligible for the 2024 Under-20 Six Nations under World Rugby front-rower age regulations, his 18th birthday falling after the tournament. He went on to captain the Scotland Under-20s, and in 2024 he and brother Jerry became the first pair of brothers to start together in a Scotland Under-20 front row, against Samoa in the World Rugby Under 20 Trophy. Scotland won the 2026 World Rugby Under 20 Championship, with Blyth-Lafferty scoring three tries in the tournament.
