Dragons Boosted as Another Six Players Return to the Squad

Newport Gwent Dragons welcome six players back from injury this week as Paul Turner’s twenty-five man squad train towards the Magners League clash with Edinburgh on Friday night (kick-off 7.10).

Dragons captain Colin Charvis, Kevin Morgan, Rhodri Gomer Davies, Hugh Gustafson, Joe Bearman and Jamie Ringer all return from injury to join the six players who returned for the last Magners clash and their team mates who battled through the January European games.

Head Coach Paul Turner recognises the experience that the returning players will bring to the squad this week. He comments:

“The guys returning from injury will bring a whole array of experience and balance to the squad. After a reasonable Christmas period in the Magners League, the squad were fully tested going into the European games when the injury list was certainly taking its toll.

“The next two fixtures are huge for us in terms of moving up the Magners League. Two home games on the bounce gives us a real opportunity to show other teams what we can do and the players will be looking to capitalise on the home advantage.”

Players eligible for selection this weekend are:

Kevin Morgan

Martyn Thomas

Gareth Wyatt

Paul Emerick

Rhodri Gomer-Davies

Ashley Smith

Richard Fussell

Ceri Sweeney

Aled Thomas

Wayne Evans

Andrew Williams
