Wing Ashton Hewitt will leave Dragons this summer at the expiration of his current contract.
The 30-year-old has made 130 appearances to date for the Welsh region after making his debut in 2013.
A product of the Dragons academy system, Hewitt is second in the club's all-time try scoring charts with 37 tries over 11 seasons.
He will play his final game for Dragons in the United Rugby Championship (URC) game away to Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria, South Africa on Saturday.
Dragons head coach Filo Tiatia said: "Ashton is a well-respected and popular player who came through our academy system and went on to play over a century of games for the Dragons.
"Ashton has achieved a huge amount for this club and been a wonderful advocate for our sport.
"He has always given 100% whenever he has pulled on a jersey that means so much to him and shown his resilience and determination to come back from serious injury in recent seasons.
"Ashton and his young family will always be a part of our club and he leaves with our best wishes for the future and the next chapter of his career. They will always be warmly welcomed back at Rodney Parade."
