Scotland lock Alex Craig is joining Scarlets from Gloucester.
Like their regional rivals, Scarlets are cutting costs and have lost lock options Lewis Rawlins, Tom Price and Aaron Shingler among 15 departures.
The 26-year-old is Scarlets' sixth summer signing. Craig, below, said: “Scarlets are a big club with a proud fan base and play a real exciting brand of rugby.”
Efan Jones, one of the leading scrum-halves in the Indigo Premiership, has also joined the side.
The 25-year-old joins an exciting group of nines that includes Wales internationals Gareth Davies and Kieran Hardy, as well as Archie Hughes.
Jones has just enjoyed an outstanding campaign for RGC, scoring 11 tries and collecting the coaches' and supporters' player-of-the-season awards. Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel said: “Efan is an exciting player who is coming off a superb season with RGC and deserves his opportunity at this level. He will add to a talented pool of nines that we have at the club.”
Versatile Wales back Ioan Lloyd, wing Tomi Lewis and Loughborough University students Teddy Leatherbarrow and Charlie Titcombe are also new Scarlets faces.
