Dafydd Hughes spent seven seasons with Scarlets

Former Wales Under-20s hooker Dafydd Hughes has joined Cardiff Rugby following the demise of Jersey Reds.

The 27-year-old had joined the English Championship club in the summer from Scarlets.

But Jersey into liquidation in September after it was unable to pay its players and staff due to an investor pulling its funding.

"We are pleased to give Daf an opportunity at Cardiff and he arrives with a point to prove," Cardiff head coach Matt Sherratt said.

"Like all of our signings in recent weeks, we believe he has real potential and will be determined to grasp this opportunity with both hands, while giving us further depth in a key position."
