Dragons RFC have confirmed that seven players will be leaving the club at the end of the season, including Leicester Tigers-bound Aaron Wainwright.
Wainwright is one of two Dragons centurions to leave the Dragons at the end of the season, with James Benjamin also set to depart.
Benjamin, who has played at hooker, back row, and in the centre throughout his time at Rodney Parade, made 104 appearances in 13 seasons at the Dragons.
He is set to end his career following the end of the season.
Those two are joined by wing Ewan Rosser – 28 appearances – prop Luke Yendle – 22 appearances – scrum half Niall Armstrong – 11 appearances – and hooker George Roberts – four appearances.
Back row Mackenzie Martin – four appearances – will also leave the club following the completion of his loan from Cardiff Rugby.
This group join Cebo Dlamini, Wills Austin, Solomone Funaki and Steve Cummins who departed in season.
“I’d like to take this opportunity on behalf of everyone at Dragons RFC to thank those leaving us at the end of the season for the commitment and professionalism they’ve always shown throughout their time at Rodney Parade,” head coach Filo Tiatia said.
“Players such as Aaron and James have played over a century of games for the club and will leave a lasting impression with their impact and performances.
“We wish all those leaving us every success moving forward and will aways warmly welcome them and their families back to Rodney Parade in the future.”
