Alun Lawrence: Back row rejoins Cardiff after Jersey Reds fold
- Published
Back row Alun Lawrence made 23 appearances for Cardiff in his first spell with the region
Back row Alun Lawrence has rejoined Cardiff Rugby on a short-term contract.
The 25-year-old came through the ranks at the Arms Park before joining Jersey Reds in January 2022.
But the collapse of the English club in October paved the way for Lawrence's return, where he will add depth in the back row while Taulupe Faletau and James Botham are out injured.
"It's great to be back and seeing so many familiar faces and good friends," Lawrence said.
"I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to return to my home club after an amazing experience in Jersey which unfortunately came to a sudden end."
Cardiff's squad for Friday's United Rugby Championship (URC) game at Zebre was named before Lawrence's arrival, and he will likely have to wait until the home game against Stormers on Friday, 24 November to be involved.
