Shaun Knight leaves Newport Gwent Dragons

Newport Gwent Dragons can confirm that Shaun Knight has been released from his contract.

Following his loan spell with Premiership side Bath Rugby, Knight has been offered a permanent contract with the English outfit.

“Shaun was a pleasure to work with, he is a consummate professional and very good young player," Head Coach Kingsley Jones commented.

“However due to the excellent performances of Brok Harris coupled with the progression and emergence of our other three Welsh qualified props Lloyd Fairbrother, Leon Brown and young Chris Coleman, future opportunities would be limited.

“Bath is an excellent opportunity for Shaun to play rugby at the top level and we’d like to wish him well for the future.”
