Scarlets front row extend stay

Tighthead prop Edwards, 35, will mark the beginning of his sixth season with the region as we head into 2016-17, having made his regional debut against Italians Benetton Treviso in 2010.

 

Despite suffering an elbow injury in the Champions Cup clash against Racing 92 in November last year, Edwards has proved to be an important part of the region's front row union, boasting appearances this season.

 

One of Scarlets' homegrown talents, Jones has made 88 appearances for his home club, Llandovery, scoring nine tries over six professional seasons with the Principality Premiership side.

 

The 24-year-old's first regional appearance came off the bench against Gloucester in a 13-7 victory in 2014.

He went on to make 13 appearances for the Scarlets during the 2014-15 season, including taking on some of the world's best in Champions Cup clashes against Leicester Tigers and champions Toulon and will look to kick on in the Scarlets jersey with a new two-year deal.

 

Australian-born Evans joined the Scarlets ahead of 2015-16 season and has signed a new deal that will keep him at the region until at least June 2018.

 

The 27-year-old had previously represented Newcastle and NSW Country, and faced then Scarlets George North and Jonathan Davies as part of the Combined NSW-Queensland Country side who took on the British & Irish Lions in 2013. 

He has made 14 appearances for the Scarlets thus far, making his first competitive start against Benetton Treviso in March.

 

Scarlets General Manager of Rugby, Jon Daniels, said; "We are delighted to be in a position to confirm that Peter, Wyn and Dylan have all extended their contracts and will remain with us here at Parc y Scarlets.

 

"Pete has been a stalwart in the last few seasons offering much needed experience and support to the emerging international talents of Samson and the likes. 

"Retaining players of Pete's experience is important as we look to continue the development of young props at the region. 

"Both Wyn and Dylan have worked exceptionally hard and are looking to challenge for regular game time in the regional shirt.”
