- Published
Wales number eight Mackenzie Martin will join Dragons from Cardiff on loan for the 2025-26 season.
Martin made his Cardiff debut against Stormers in November 2023 and was given his Wales debut during the 2024 Six Nations.
The 21-year-old found his opportunities limited in the Cardiff back row in the 2024-25 campaign and will link up with Dragons next season.
Martin becomes the club's 10th new recruit alongside Fetuli Paea, Tinus de Beer, Thomas Young, Wyn Jones, Dillon Lewis, Fine Inisi, Levi Douglas, Seb Davies and Harry Beddall.
"We're looking forward to welcoming Mackenzie and I know he is motivated to make a big impression in our group," said Dragons head coach Filo Tiatia.
"Mackenzie is an international class back row who will increase the competition in our squad for the number eight jersey, alongside Aaron Wainwright, Solomone Funaki and Harrison Keddie."
