Scarlets have today announced that flanker Aaron Shingler is the latest to put pen to paper with a contract extension keeping him at the region for next season and beyond.
The 28-year-old has made 121 appearances for the Llanelli region since making his senior debut in March 2009.
He said: “Scarlets gave me my first opportunity at professional rugby and I’m excited to continue my development with my home region.
“It’s important for me to be playing at the highest level to continue my personal development and the Scarlets, as one of the top two regions in Wales playing in the top flight of Europe, gives me that opportunity.
“I still have ambitions to play for Wales and I feel that this is the best place to be to fulfill those ambitions.”
Head Coach Wayne Pivac added: “We are delighted that Aaron has joined fellow back-rower John Barclay in re-signing for the region.
“Aaron was the leading line-out forward in the PRO12 last season and brings maturity and experience to the group. Both Aaron and John are leaders in our group, both on and off the field, and are influential in the development of the young guys in the squad.”
