Wainwright signs new Dragons contract

Wales international back row star Aaron Wainwright has today pledged his future to Dragons RFC and signed a new multi-year contract with the Men of Gwent.

Wainwright – who has made over a century of appearances for the club – is one of the most highly rated back row forwards in world rugby.

An instrumental figure for Dragons RFC and Wales, the 26-year-old has ended speculation over his future by agreeing new terms to remain with his home club.

Wainwright – who made his club debut in 2017 - joins international team-mate Rio Dyer in signing a new deal with Dragons.

Head Coach Dai Flanagan: “It’s fantastic news that another Gwent talent in Aaron Wainwright has signed a new contract with us.

“Aaron’s influence at our club grows season on season, he has been playing outstandingly well for us and his best rugby years are ahead of him.

“Aaron’s future has attracted interest around world rugby, such has been his impact with us and Wales in recent times.

“His decision to continue his journey with Dragons is an endorsement of what we are building and underlines his passion to play for his home club.

“Aaron is a proud Gwent man who wants success here and who firmly believes he can become a better player and achieve his aspirations with us.”
