Gavin Henson signs for Dragons

Newport Gwent Dragons have announced that Gavin Henson has committed his future to the Welsh Region.

Henson, who is a former Wales and British and Irish Lions player, will join Dragons this summer on a 2-year contract.

After signing his contract, Henson commented: “I have really enjoyed my time here at Bristol but when the opportunity came along to join the Dragons and return to Wales, I couldn’t say no.

"I still have loads to offer and I know what Kingsley wants from me. I’m especially looking forward to pitting myself against the current Welsh players, and hopefully becoming a catalyst and mentor for the tremendous talent that is in the Dragons squad.”

Dragons Head Coach, Kingsley Jones added: “This is a hugely important signing and exactly what we need to complement our existing squad.
