Angus O’Brien to return to Dragons

Scarlets back Angus O’Brien will return home to Dragons Rugby at the end of the season.

Caerleon-born O’Brien came through the Dragons Academy system and went on to make 70 appearances, scoring 305 points for the region, before leaving to join the Scarlets in 2018.

The former Wales Under-20 international returns to Rodney Parade after four years away.

Dean Ryan, Director of Dragons Rugby, told the club website: “Angus is very keen to return to his home region and we’re excited to see the impact he can make with us.

“He returns with a wealth of experience and will give us a different way of playing the game.

“Angus is a talented and versatile player who will really add to the competition we have for the fly half and full back jersey.”

O’Brien – who also represented Wales Sevens at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast – made 41 appearances and scored 86 points in his four seasons at Scarlets.

O’Brien said: “I’m excited to be returning to Rodney Parade and my home region.

“I’ve loved my four seasons at Scarlets, it’s been a great experience for me and I’ve a learnt a lot that I’ll be able to bring back with me to the Dragons.

“I came through the Academy system at Dragons, grew up with a lot of the players, so to be re-joining those boys and working with them again is an exciting prospect.

“Dragons have moved forward since I have left, and the recruitment has been strong ahead of next season. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
