Baldwin in the bag! Dragons RFC are delighted to announce the signing of versatile back Corey Baldwin.
Baldwin makes the move to Rodney Parade from Scarlets, joining Dane Blacker as a new recruit ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
The 24-year-old – who can operate at wing or centre - has played 29 senior games for Scarlets over two spells, after coming through the Academy system at the West Walians.
A former Wales Under-20s international, Llandeilo-born Baldwin has also featured for Exeter Chiefs and was part of the squad that won the European Champions Cup and English Premiership title.
Head Coach Dai Flanagan believes Baldwin will be an exciting addition to the pool of three-quarters at Rodney Parade next season.
He said: “Corey is a talented and dynamic young player who is keen to grasp this chance and really impress in our set-up.
“His versatility is a major positive and he’ll strengthen our back line options, an area we wanted to focus on with our recruitment.
“I’ve worked with Corey over a number of years, both in the Welsh Under-18 and Under-20 set-up and at Scarlets, and he is a driven young man who will fit into our squad to make a positive impact.”
Baldwin said: “I’m really excited by the opportunity to join the Dragons and having spoken to Dai, there is a clear vision and brand of rugby they team want to play, and I can’t wait to be a part of that.
“In addition, I would like to say thank you to everyone at the Scarlets for all their support during my time in West Wales.”
