Blues sign flyhalf Tovey

Cardiff Blues can confirm that flyhalf Jason Tovey will be joining the region for the 2012/13 season.

Speaking of his decision to move from the Dragons to the Blues, Tovey said:

“I had a look around at my options and the facilities at the Blues were one of the big factors for me deciding to join them,” he said.

“It’s by far one of the best training centres I’ve seen.

“It’s got everything on one site, from the gym, to training pitches, medial rooms, analysis rooms to the leisure facilities and kitchen. There’s not a lot more you can ask for.

“Also having the opportunity to play with the likes of Jamie Roberts, Leigh Halfpenny and Sam Warburton is, for me personally, a big step forward in my career.

“I grew up playing alongside Leigh and Sam at Wales Under-16s to the U20s and still keep in touch, so it would be good to meet up with them at the Blues.

“One of the other key things I looked for was playing Heineken Cup rugby and hopefully I can also push for international honours.”

“The Blues have got some world class backs, so one of the things I’ll be looking to do is ignite the backline.”
