Ex-Welsh international Rhodri Jones signs new Dragons deal
Jones, who has won 24 caps for his country, joined the Dragons ahead of the 2022-2023 campaign and has become a key figure in the front row.
The 33-year-old, who has also represented Llandovery, Carmarthen Quins, Scarlets and Ospreys, has so far made a total of 37 appearances for Dragons.
Jones made 13 appearances in his first season with Dragons, earning a Wales call-up and three more caps under Wayne Pivac.
He has played on both sides of the scrum and was an ever-present last season, making 19 appearances.
'It is great that Rhodri has decided to continue playing for Dragons RFC,' said forwards coach Sam Hobbs.
'As a Welsh international, he brings crucial experience to a young forward pack and has made a big impact in his first couple of seasons here with his work rate and set-piece experience before being unlucky with injury.
'We look forward to him finishing this season well and kicking on next season, competing with an exciting group of front rowers.'
Jones is delighted to have agreed a new contract to stay at Rodney Parade.
'I've really enjoyed my time with Dragons and felt like I was playing my best rugby last season,' he said.
'This season I haven't been able to play as much as I would have liked due to injury but I'm looking forward to pushing hard towards the end of the season.
"I'm excited to continue working with Filo [Tiatia] and the other coaches as we look ahead to next season.'

Lions set to be without 16 players as England star called into squad
Lions set to be without 16 players as England star called into squad The British & Irish Lions will be without 16 players for their first training camp Andy Farrell, the British & Irish Lions head coach (Image:) The British & Irish Lions will be without 16 players from Andy Farrell's 38-man squad for this week's training camp in Portugal. Farrell has called up experienced England hooker Jamie George as cover for Ireland pair Dan Sheehan and Ronan Kelleher who will both be involved in next Saturday's United Rugby Championship final between Leinster and the Bulls in Dublin. The Lions boss selected his original squad with full knowledge he would be without a significant chunk of players for the Portugal training camp and the warm-up clash with Argentina at the Aviva Stadium on June 20. Both the Gallagher Premiership and URC finals take place next weekend, while the French Top 14 takes place on June 28. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. Leinster are providing a remarkable 12 players to the tour, while Scotland playmaker Finn Russell and England tighthead Will Stuart play for Bath and second-row Ollie Chessum is at Leicester Tigers. As far as the Top 14 goes it only affects Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn who plays for Toulouse which isn't ideal considering Hugo Keenan will also be unavailable for the trip to Portugal. Article continues below This scenario has been commonplace in the professional era with Warren Gatland without 12 players for the training camp in Jersey ahead of the tour of South Africa four years ago. Join WalesOnline Rugby's WhatsApp Channel here to get the breaking news sent straight to your phone for free Farrell's decision to call Jamie George into the training squad has come at the expense of Wales hooker Dewi Lake who was heavily touted to tour for months. Along with a shortage of hookers, Farrell will also be low on second-rows with Chessum, along with Leinster duo Mick McCarthy and James Ryan, unavailable. With no Russell for now England duo Fin Smith and Marcus Smith could be in line to figure against Argentina. Wales pair Tomos Williams and Jac Morgan will attend the Portugal training camp and have a great opportunity to hit the ground running ahead of the Lions' clash with the Pumas in Dublin. With Jamison Gibson-Park and Josh van der Flier out, both Williams and Morgan will have a head start on the Leinster duo.

The Gareth Davies interview: I'm not ready to hang up boots yet and my plans for life after rugby
The Gareth Davies interview: I'm not ready to hang up boots yet and my plans for life after rugby Gareth Davies' business Blackbear Property is thriving but he has no intention of hanging up his boots just yet Sarah Howe and Gareth Davies, of Blackbear (Image: Submitted ) There have been few better servants to Welsh rugby over the past decade than Gareth Davies. The 77-cap former Wales star played a pivotal role in Welsh rugby's successes in the latter part of the first Warren Gatland era. Who can forget his sensational try against England at Twickenham which knocked Stuart Lancaster's side out of their own World Cup? Or his crucial interception try which went a long way to knocking over the Wallabies in Tokyo four years later? "When I look back at my career there are a few moments which stand out," he said. Get the latest breaking Welsh rugby news stories sent straight to your inbox with our FREE daily newsletter. Sign up here. "The first is winning my first cap out in South Africa in 2014 which was a special day for myself and my family. The second one would be scoring that important try against England in 2015 to knock them out of their own World Cup. "There was also winning the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2019 and reaching a semi-final in the World Cup. Article continues below "Scoring that interception try against Australia was great as well. I played against some great players as well and I'd have to say Faf de Klerk was the toughest opponent I faced. "I played against him a few times and he was a tough guy to play against because he was everywhere defensively. "He literally had a free role to do what he wanted and I think his role was to close me down at every ruck. "A lot of scrum-halves would defend out on the wide edges or short side but I found Faf was shadowing me at every ruck I went to. He'd be trying to scrag me and I always found him difficult to play against. "I'm also privileged to have played with some great players and if I had to pick one I'd say Liam Williams in his prime was the best I've played with. "When he was in his prime he was a hell of a player and would never have a bad game. "He would always give 100% and have something magical up his sleeve." It's safe to say Davies' rugby career has been a resounding success, but the 34-year-old has been just as successful off the field. A year ago Davies, alongside his business partner Simon John, set up his own estate agent, Blackbear Property in Haverfordwest, with it going so well they recently opened up a second branch in Llansamlet, Swansea. "We launched Blackbear just over 12 months ago," Davies tells WalesOnline. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. "We opened our first office in Haverfordwest with my business partner Simon John. We've got a couple of guys working with us, Jamie and Jack, who cover Pembrokeshire and Sarah who takes care of Swansea. "They are the agents doing all the hard work in the office day to day. "I've known Simon for quite a long time because he's worked alongside my parents with the hotel's Gellifawr Woodland Retreat and Emlyn Hotel which are popular wedding venues. "Simon approached me about two years ago and he seemed to think there was a bit of a gap in the market for an estate agent in Haverfordwest. "I'm obviously not hands-on day to day but rugby is my main priority at the moment. "I'm also going to be working with my dad's car business, Cawdor cars. We have six garages covering south west Wales so I'm going to be very busy. Jamie, Jack, Sarah & Gareth Davies of Blackbear (Image: Submitted ) "Between Blackbear and working in the car industry with my dad hopefully the transition from when I finished playing rugby will be fairly smooth. "Once I finish I'll be busy trying to sell houses or cars." Blackbear credits its runaway success to its blend of the modern and traditional, embracing technology and forming an exclusive partnership with digital agency, The Honey agency, while also maintaining a strong high street presence. Davies is confident the commitment and drive which helped him reach the top as a player will bode well in the world of business. "It's going to take a lot of hard work but I'm confident we will continue being successful and go from strength to strength," he said. "Similar to rugby, if you work hard and are willing to put the hours in you can achieve success. I've got some ambitious expansion plans and Swansea is just the start. "We will actively be looking to set up franchise operations in areas such as Cardiff, Monmouthshire and Bristol. "But I've still got a lot left to give as a professional rugby player." Last summer Davies made the difficult decision to call time on his international career after 77 caps, two Six Nations titles and two British & Irish Lions tours. Davies is at the tail-end of his career but has been the best scrum-half in Wales by some distance this season, playing a crucial role in the Scarlets' resurgence as they reached the United Rugby Championship play-offs which means they are the only Welsh representative in next season's Investec Champions Cup. "I think what's been massive for me last season is I retired from international rugby this time last year after the summer tour," Davies tells WalesOnline. Gareth Davies of Scarlets is one of the form players in Wales right now (Image: Huw Evans Agency ) "It took a lot of weight off my shoulders. Join WalesOnline Rugby's WhatsApp Channel here to get the breaking news sent straight to your phone for free "It's great playing for Wales but it comes with a lot of pressure. When things are going well and you are winning, there's no better environment to be in but when things aren't going so well it's tough. "I just felt last year was the right time for me to walk away. I've thoroughly enjoyed my rugby with the Scarlets last season and I think having the weight of not having to play international rugby really helped me. "Having a bit of time off during the Six Nations and autumn campaign gave me a chance to recharge my batteries mentally and physically. "It's also been good to work with some of the young nines at the Scarlets like Archie Hughes. "It's probably something I've done naturally over the last few years. I'm not the biggest speaker and I don't speak for the sake of it in meetings but I'd like to think that whenever I do speak and whatever points I do bring up they are important messages." Davies is the elder statesman in the squad but remains a key cog in a Scarlets back division which includes some of the best young talent in Welsh rugby. And the man from Newcastle Emlyn is confident there is a lot more to come from the Scarlets next season. "There's been a lot of talk about Macs Page, Blair Murray and Ellis Mee," he said. "They really do deserve that exposure because I really do think they are very exciting players for us. "Macs has the ability to play wing and centre and is a really exciting player. "I think they will grow and grow as time goes. It was a good season overall in the end. "I know we had a disappointing couple of months before Christmas where we lost four or five games by one score, while we also drew a game as well. "Looking back, if we could have sneaked a win in one or two of those games we could have been right up the table in the mix for a home play-off rather than just sneaking in. "I think we had a good strong end to the season where every game was important leading up to the last week. "We had four or five bonus-point wins on the bounce which allowed us to get some momentum. "But I do think there's a lot more to come from this squad next season." Davies is already well on the path to forging a successful career as a businessman when he eventually hangs up his boots. But when will that be and how much has he got left in the tank? "I've got a year left on my contract with the Scarlets so we shall see," he said. "The main thing for me is I have to be enjoying my rugby. "I'm really enjoying my rugby at the moment and want to continue. Without the pressure of playing international rugby anymore I think I can continue as a professional for a couple of years yet. "I might have the opportunity to sign an extension with the Scarlets or if something comes up abroad it is something I'd like to consider. "I haven't got much interest in coaching or any lines of work like that. To be honest when I finish playing rugby I'm just looking forward to being a fan. Article continues below "I will just sit back and enjoy watching rugby. I've got no interest in coaching but I do enjoy doing a bit of broadcasting. "I've done a fair bit of work with S4C. It is probably something a few years ago I wouldn't have thought I'd have enjoyed but I've loved doing it over the last 18 months."
