Dragons centre Harry Wilson has left Rodney Parade to return to Australia.

Wilson, who is the son of ex-Australia captain and World Cup-winner David Wilson, joined Dragons last season from Super Rugby side NSW Waratahs.

The 24-year-old made 12 appearances and scored one try and will now return to his homeland by mutual consent.

"A massive thank you to all the staff for your support this season. I appreciate the time and effort you all put into me," said Wilson.

"To the players, this is a special group, and I am definitely going to miss turning up to training each day with you all.

"I've made mates for life and that's what I'll always remember about my time here with Dragons."

Head coach Filo Tiatia said: "He's a young man who has come out of Super Rugby and embraced the challenge in a new country with us and been a pleasure to work with.

"We now wish him every success for the future and look forward to seeing how his career progresses."
