Sion Bennett agrees long-term deal with Cardiff Blues

Sion Bennett will remain at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park next season after agreeing a long-term deal with the region.

Cardiff Blues head coach Danny Wilson said: “It great to bring Sion back to Wales. He has worked hard since arriving at Cardiff Blues and has performed well on the field when selected.  
 
“He adds depth to a position that will be very competitive if everyone stays fit.”

Bennett, who linked up with the Blues from Northampton Saints, came through the ranks at the Scarlets while Wilson was forwards coach and was also under his tutelage with Wales Under-20s.
 

The versatile back-row forward joined Cardiff Blues on a short-term contract as injury cover in February.
