Scarlets land 125kg signing

Scarlets will be happy with their latest acquisition as 19 year-old back-rower Carwyn Tuipulotu has penned a deal with the club.

The 125kg youngster made his debut off the bench in the Pro14 against Leinster last month and has impressed the powers that be.

He has been capped for Wales at U16, U18 and is currently training with the U20 squad for the annual Six Nations tournament.

“I’m delighted to have signed a contract here with the Scarlets,” said Tuipulotu. “I feel like I am settled and really at home here. There are a lot of senior players who have been a great help to me, they are like my big brothers.

“I’m learning a huge amount from their experiences and that can only help me develop my game. It was great to get a taste of the PRO14 against one of the best sides in the competition in Leinster and hopefully it will be the first of many. 

“For me, it is a case of working hard in training and to keep on learning. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for me at the Scarlets.”
