The teenager is fresh off the back of his first international campaign with Wales and has relished the opportunity to play Tests against Georgia and Italy.
And the Bristol Bears playmaker, who is equally at home at outside-half and full-back, is now targeting a place in Wales’ Six Nations squad next year.
“It was so surreal going into training and working with Leigh,” admitted the Cardiffian.
“It’s been amazing and it hasn’t sunk in yet if I’m being honest. It’s all a blur and it has all happened so fast I’ve just been like ‘Oh my god what is going on?’
“I’ve learnt a lot from Liam and Leigh in training. They’ve been massive in my development in terms of just seeing how much work they put into the finer details of their games.
“The work both put in with regards to their positional play, dealing with high balls and their defence is impressive. I’ve taken a lot from those two during this campaign.”
Lloyd has been a revelation for Bristol since making his Gallagher Premiership debut last September and has not looked out of place at such a high level.
Despite being only 19 Lloyd is not one to rest on his laurels and is already working on ways to take his game to the next level.
He said: “At the start of camp I went in and set some goals for the future. I’ve had some chats with Wayne Pivac and Stephen Jones and mapped out what I need to work on to kick on into the future.
“I’d love to make the Six Nations squad, but it’s important I don’t get ahead of myself and keep working hard for Bristol. We’ve got a great squad and there is a lot we want to achieve this season.
“I’ve always enjoyed goal kicking and it was great to have been given the goal kicking duties against Worcester.
“Hopefully, I can get more of an opportunity to take on that responsibility in the future, but for now I’m just thankful to be in the team and I need to keep working hard.”
The former Ysgol Glantaf and Clifton College pupil is fortunate to be under the expert tutelage of Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam.
He has made no secret of his admiration of Lloyd’s talents even going so far as to predict his protégée will wear the Wales number 10 shirt at the 2023 World Cup.
A lot can happen between now and then, but Lloyd admits he wouldn’t have achieved what he has so quickly without Lam’s guidance.
He said: “Pat has been massive for my career so far. He’s given me some great opportunities at Bristol and he’s made everything I’ve achieved over the last 18 months possible.
“It’s surreal how fast everything has happened for me and I definitely couldn’t have imagined it.”
