Hooker Dafydd Hughes has signed a new contract to remain with Cardiff Rugby.

The 28-year-old former Scarlets player joined the Blue and Blacks in October 2023 following the demise of English Championship side Jersey Reds.

Prop Will Davies-King, 25, has also re-signed with the Arms Park outfit after featuring in seven United Rugby Championship (URC) games in the last campaign.

Hughes made two first-team appearances last season and has now put pen to paper on a new deal to compete with Liam Belcher, Evan Lloyd and Efan Daniel for the number two jersey.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to remain at Cardiff," Hughes said.

"Since the sad collapse of Jersey, I have had a great welcome at the Arms Park and have enjoyed being part of a really competitive squad, which is full of potential and striving to improve.

There is a lot of competition at hooker, but we all get along well and are driving each other to become better players."
