Wales centre Nick Tompkins joins Dragons on one year loan

Wales international Nick Tompkins will join the Dragons on a year-long loan from English Premiership side Saracens.

The 25-year-old centre made his Wales debut during the Six Nations earlier this year.

He scored a try against Italy at the Principality Stadium in the opening round of the tournament and would go on to feature in every match.

Tompkins, who has won four English Premiership titles and three European Champions Cup titles with Saracens, said: “I am really looking forward to joining the Dragons.

“The region is clearly making great progress, under the guidance of Dean Ryan, and I am really excited about contributing to the cause.”

This is the Dragon's second major signing of the summer after bringing in Wales winger Jonah Holmes on a long term deal.
