The Dragons have confirmed the signing of Wales international Jonah Holmes.

Holmes, who can play on the wing or full back, joins the region after being released from the final year of his contract by Leicester Tigers.

Dean Ryan, director of rugby at the Dragons, said: “Jonah has big ambitions, in both the domestic and international arena, and we are pleased that he believes that Dragons is the right fit for him to be able to achieve those goals.”

Holmes said: “I’m pleased to finalise the move and can’t wait to get started in a new competition and link up with my team-mates.

“I’ve spoken at length to Dean, know the ambition for the future and have seen squad that is being built. I’m excited by the challenge ahead.

“My focus is now totally on Dragons, getting integrated into the squad as soon as possible and trying to get my name on that first team sheet.

“I also have aspirations to be part of the Wales set-up going forward, be in the next squad, so the support of the national coaching team throughout this process has been great.

“My thanks also go to Leicester. I’ve had three good years with Tigers, learnt a lot and got on well with everyone. I thank them for their understanding and wish everyone at the club all the best for the future.”
