Leon Brown extends Dragons stay

Leon Brown has committed his future to the Dragons by signing a long-term contract.

This news comes the day after the 20-year old was named in the Wales Autumn International squad for the upcoming 2017 November test series.

“I didn’t look elsewhere – I wanted to sign here and keep playing my rugby at my home Region,” said Brown.

The tight-head prop burst onto the scene in 2012 when he played his first match for the Dragons U16s age grade side, after coming on as a replacement against the Ospreys U16s. Prior to this the Newport born player found his feet playing school rugby for St Joseph’s RC High School. He went on to become a regular starter for the U16s, whilst before moving onto the U18s and then to Principality Premiership side Cross Keys.

His early career has also seen him capped at International level with Wales U16s, U18s and U20s as well.
