SCARLETS DUO SIGN NEW DEALS Two of Scarlets’ Wales internationals and 2017 title winners have signed new contracts to extend their stay at the club. Rhys Patchell and Scott Williams have become the latest high-profile players to pen new deals. Patchell is in his sixth season in West Wales, having made a welcome return to the senior team this season after making his comeback from injury in November. “Patch is an experienced international player, who has been playing at the top level for a long time now,” said head coach Dwayne Peel. “He has worked extremely hard to get back out on the field after injury and is going well for us at the moment. I know there was interest in him from other clubs so we are delighted he has signed a new contract.”

Rhys said: “I’m pleased to be staying at Parc y Scarlets. The Scarlets are a respected club both domestically and in Europe. “The journey to regain fitness has been longer than I had hoped, but I have thoroughly enjoyed being back on the field with the boys these past few weeks. There is work to be done and I look forward to contributing as much as I can to the future success that we’re all striving for.” Scott, in his second spell at Parc y Scarlets, has been in outstanding form this season, winning two URC player-of-the-match awards and leading the team in the absence of midfield partner Jonathan Davies. Capped 58 times for his country, the 31-year-old has made 146 appearances in a Scarlets jersey since making his debut in 2009 and was a member of the PRO12 title-winning team of 2017.
