Cardiff sign lock Nott from Dragons

George Nott played 41 games for Dragons in three seasons

Cardiff have completed the signing of lock George Nott from Dragons.

Nott, 28, will make the switch to the Arms Park, with Wales lock Seb Davies going the other way.

"I'm looking forward to linking up with Cardiff," said Nott.

"I feel like we have a genuine chance to compete for trophies and I'm excited to be in a professional environment.

"From speaking to both current and past players, I have heard nothing but good things about the environment."

Nott was born in Bodelwyddan and raised in North Wales but helped England Under-20s win the 2017 Junior World Championships.

The uncapped lock, who remains eligible for Wales, started his career with Sale before switching to London Irish, where he worked closely with Cardiff forwards coach Corniel van Zyl.

Following his arrival from Dragons, Nott will compete with fellow Cardiff locks Ben Donnell, Josh McNally, Rory Thornton and Teddy Williams.

"We are delighted to be able to secure the services of George," said Cardiff head coach Matt Sheratt.

"He comes with a good reputation as a very good operator on and off the field."
