Aaron Shingler signs new deal at Scarlets

Scarlets have confirmed that back row forward Aaron Shingler has signed a new contract keeping him at the region.

The former Glamorgan cricketer was recalled to the Wales squad for the summer tour to New Zealand and Samoa earlier this year three years after his last appearance, on the summer tour of 2014 against South Africa.

Commenting on the news Head Coach Wayne Pivac said; “Aaron is an all rounder; not only his work ethic at training and the values that he brings but he’s also a great player and a pleasure to coach.
 
“He’s worked very hard at his game and has become a real leader in the group over the last 12-18 months, particularly when the internationals were away last season. He was a big part of the championship win last season and his hard work and diligence has paid dividends winning reselection to the Wales squad.”

Shingler, 30, has been a stalwart at the Scarlets for the best part of a decade and has amassed 170 appearances in the regional jersey scoring 19 tries.
