Wales prop Rob Evans will move to Dragons from Scarlets at the end of the season.
The 30-year-old has made over 150 appearances at Scarlets over nine years, winning the league title in 2017.
Capped 39 times by Wales, Evans made his debut against Ireland in 2015 and started four of Wales’ games in the successful 2019 Grand Slam campaign.
Upon signing, Evans told the club website: “It feels like the right time for a change and, with the other signings and what Dean wants to build here, it will be brilliant and I’m looking forward to it.
“I love playing at Rodney Parade and the fans are really loud and intimidating. I’m looking forward to being a part of it and having them on my side.”
Director of Dragons Rugby Dean Ryan added: “We’re delighted to be welcoming a player of Rob’s calibre to Dragons and excited about the impact he can make with us.
“Rob is highly driven and motivated to help us move forward as a squad.
“He also still has big international ambitions with Wales that he wants to achieve as a Dragon.”
