Centre Aneurin Owen has signed a new “long-term” deal to stay at Dragons.
After rising through Dragons’ academy, the now 24-year-old made his debut for the region in December 2020 and has captained the side this season.
“Aneurin is a real servant to those around him and someone who leads by action,” said head coach Filo Tiatia.
“He is undoubtedly starting to really inspire the players around him with the way he performs as a young captain.”
Owen said he believed there were positives at Rodney Parade as Dragons look to lift themselves from the foot of the United Rugby Championship.
“We have the right people with an exciting number of academy players coming through to start pushing on [and] become more successful,” he said.
“It’s been a big season with the honour of captaining the side in recent weeks and I’m excited about continuing to get better and develop my game at my club.”
Dragons have not specified the duration of Owen’s new contract.
