“I also want to reassure fans of Bristol that I'll do everything I can to support the club from now until the end of the season. I've had a number of offers from , and , but felt moving back to Wales was the correct decision to achieve my goals at this point in my career.”
Head Coach Danny Wilson added: “I'm absolutely delighted to sign Matthew and to welcome him to Cardiff Blues from next season.

“I've worked with Matthew before and know what a dedicated and committed professional he is. I'm sure he will want to have a big end to the season with Bristol Rugby and then make a successful return to Wales.”
