It has been a breakthrough season for Coghlan who was named in Wales’ autumn squad and won his first cap as a replacement in the 73-0 defeat against South Africa in November 2025.
The former Wales U19 international was left out of the Six Nations squad but wants a Test return.
“It was incredible,” said Coghlan.
“When I did get my chance to get my cap, it was a special feeling, hard to explain, a lot of emotions and just felt incredibly proud.
“Growing up it’s your dream goal and that feeling is something now I want to keep chasing.
“I want to do everything I can to get back in there and represent my country, so hopefully I can get more caps in the future.”
Coghlan is being inspired by Dragons and Wales hooker Elliot Dee, who he is currently keeping out of the starting side.
“Elliot’s a legend and so supportive of me,” said Coghlan.
“He’s given me lots of tips over the last few years.
“He’s really competitive as well, so it’s what drives me to train harder. I want to try to push myself to do what he’s done.
“The amount of caps he’s had for Wales, the games he’s had for the Dragons, to have him in the group and to learn so much off him is class.”
