Scarlets confirm signing of Van der Merwe

As revealed by Neil Fissler in The Rugby Paper on February 1, DTH van der Merwe will join Scarlets ahead of the 2015-16 season.
The 28-year-old will join Welsh region from fellow Guinness PRO12 club Glasgow Warriors after six years in Scotland.
The Canadian international featured in Rugby World Cup 2007 and 2011.
He said: “I am extremely grateful to Glasgow Warriors for all that they have done for me since I joined back in 2009. I have had six great seasons at Glasgow but I feel that the time is right for me to face a new challenge.
“I have heard great things about the Scarlets and the facilities at Parc y Scarlets and I’m looking forward to making the move to West Wales. The Scarlets are traditionally known for their exhilarating style of running rugby and have some great backs in the likes of Regan King and Scott Williams and it will be great to link up with former international Stephen Jones who’ll be making a return as a backs coach.”
Head Coach Wayne Pivac added: “We are delighted to announce that DTH will join us here at Parc y Scarlets ahead of the new season. His record speaks for itself – he’s a very aggressive defender, has a natural ability to create and score tries and having a strong finisher in your side is invaluable.
“At 28 years of age DTH will add international experience and maturity to our relative young backline and it will be great to have another experienced voice around to nurture some of our younger guys coming through.
“With experience at centre and on the wing DTH will be an exciting new addition to the squad.”
