Robinson returns to Cardiff Blues

Cardiff Blues have signed former Welsh international Nicky Robinson as injury cover with Jarrod Evans facing up to 10 weeks on the sidelines with a broken jaw.

The 34-year-old will come out of retirement after hanging up his boots at the end of last season, bringing his 15-year professional career to an end.

“It’s good to bring a player of Nicky’s experience back to BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park," said Blues boss Danny Wilson.

"His quality is undeniable, he has a wealth of experience from his time with the Blues, the English Premiership and the international game and plenty of leadership qualities," he concluded.

Robinson is already in training with the region and is available for selection this weekend.
