Dragons have announced a new two-year contract for back-rower Huw Taylor, who can also play at lock.

Taylor, 23, has made 25 appearances for the region since joining from Worcester Warriors in 2018.

Shropshire-born Taylor represented England Under-20s, but is Welsh-qualified through a grandparent.

"This year there has been a buzz and a belief about the place and I'm ambitious for the team and for myself," said Taylor.

Fellow back-row players Ross Moriarty, Ollie Griffiths and Taine Basham have already extended their stays at Rodney Parade, but Wales lock Cory Hill is leaving for Cardiff Blues.

"He is hard-working, very consistent and fully committed to helping us achieve our long-term aspirations," said director of rugby Dean Ryan, who worked with Taylor at Worcester.
