Dragons RFC are pleased to announce that Wales international Cai Evans has agreed terms on a new contract at Rodney Parade.
Evans – equally comfortable playing at full back and fly half – has made 20 appearances for the Men of Gwent to date, scoring 97 points in all competitions.
The 25-year-old is currently sidelined after suffering an Achilles injury and will continue his recovery and rehabilitation with the club before a return to action next season.
Head Coach Filo Tiatia said: “We’re pleased that Cai is staying with us and looking forward to him coming back to full fitness.
“Cai has been unfortunate over the last 12 months, particularly as he was producing some good performances before his injury.
“His ability to play in both the ten and 15 jersey is an asset to our squad and he is a hard-working individual who is determined and focussed on making a successful playing return next season.”
Evans said: “I’m delighted to re-sign with the Dragons, a proud club, and I’m grateful for the opportunity once again to showcase my ability.
“I am driven to move forward from what has been a challenging season with significant injuries, and I am massively thankful for the support I’ve received from the staff and my teammates.
“What hasn’t wavered is my self-belief, and I can’t wait to get my boots back on and play in front of a rocking Rodney Parade soon.
“The drive on the pitch is to achieve more consistent and winning performances. The signings we’ve made, alongside a talented group of young players, will hopefully turn these narrow losses into wins. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
