Scarlets welcome Baldwin back

Talented Exeter Chiefs back, Corey Baldwin, will be on his way home to Wales where he will join up with old club, Scarlets. 

The 22 year-old is comfortable at either centre or wing and has turned out some good displays in both the Premiership and the Pro14. 

“It is great to have Corey back here at the Scarlets,” said head coach Dwayne Peel. “Scarlets supporters have already seen his talent on the senior stage. He can slot in at centre or on the wing, is a dynamic and skilful runner with an eye for the try-line and will give us another quality option behind the scrum. 

“We are proud of the amount of young players who have come through our system and have gone on to play international age-grade rugby and Corey is one of those. 

“It has been brilliant to see him out there training with the boys at Parc y Scarlets this week.” 

Baldwin seems keen for the new challenge. 

“I’ve missed being in and around my home club and being part of the Scarlets family and I’m excited to be back,” he said. 

“It’s been fantastic to be out there again training with boys this week. 

“It’s an exciting time for the club, there is a great buzz about the place and it is clear Scarlets have ambitions to be competing with the top sides in the new United Rugby Championship and in Europe. 

“There is a huge amount of talent in the squad and I am looking forward to competing for the jersey. 

“I’d like to thank Exeter for allowing me to return to my home club and wish them well for the season ahead.”
