Wales international Cai Evans has agreed a new deal with Dragons.

The 25-year-old - who can play at either full-back or fly-half - has made 20 appearances for the region, scoring 97 points.

He is currently recovering from a ruptured Achilles he suffered during the Challenge Cup in January.

Evans said he was "delighted" to re-sign with a "proud club".

"I am driven to move forward from what has been a challenging season with significant injuries, and I am massively thankful for the support I've received from the staff and my teammates," he said.

"What hasn't wavered is my self-belief, and I can't wait to get my boots back on and play in front of a rocking Rodney Parade soon.

"The drive on the pitch is to achieve more consistent and winning performances. The signings we've made, alongside a talented group of young players, will hopefully turn these narrow losses into wins. I can't wait to be a part of it."

Dragons head coach Filo Tiatia said Evans' ability to play in two positions is "an asset" to the squad.

"He is a hard-working individual who is determined and focussed on making a successful playing return next season," he said.
