Tavis Knoyle pens new Dragons deal

Dragons have confirmed that scrum-half Tavis Knoyle has extended his stay with the club at least until the end of 2021/22 season.

Knoyle, a product of Glynneath has represented Ospreys, Scarlets and Cardiff Blues previously before joining Dragons in 2016 and is also only the third player to have represented all four Welsh provinces.

He went on to make his international debut for Wales in 2010 and has gone on to play 11 Tests with his last appearance coming in 2013. He also featured a solitary Test for Wales in their 2011 World Cup campaign.

“I’m delighted to sign a new contract and continue my rugby journey at the Dragons,” said Knoyle to the official website of the club.

“I’m enjoying the environment that Dean (Ryan) and the coaching staff have created and being challenged, which keeps me focussed.

“My appetite to improve myself and those around me is as strong as ever. I want to feature as much as possible and also use my experience to also help those around me as we all strive to keep moving forward as a region.

“I feel we’ve grown as a team every week this season and I’m looking forward to being part of what we achieve in the future.”

Knoyle becomes the latest player to commit his future to Dragons in recent times after Ross Moriarty, Rhodri Williams, Ollie Griffiths, Josh Lewis and Jordan Williams.
