Contracts for Grand Slam winning pair

Scarlets are delighted to announce that Wales Under 20s Grand Slam winning forwards Shaun Evans and Dafydd Hughes have signed their first professional contracts with the region.
 
Llandovery product Dafydd Hughes got the Six Nations Championship winning campaign underway in style for Wales with a try in the opening encounter against Ireland whilst Felinfoel’s Shaun Evans crossed the whitewash on three occasions scoring against Scotland, England and Italy.
 
20-year-old hooker Hughes was first capped by Wales at under 16s level after impressive performances for the region’s age grade side before progressing on to 18s and this season’s victorious U20s squad.
  
The young hooker made 22 appearances for the senior Drovers during 2015-16 campaign, scoring three tries, and featured in the SWALEC Cup victory over fellow Scarlets side Carmarthen Quins.
 
Former Bryngwyn Comprehensive pupil Shaun Evans had an impressive start to his international career named Man of the Match on his Wales U16s debut, against USA.
 
The 19-year-old flanker went on to represent Wales and Scarlets at U18s before being awarded with a place in Wales U20s squad for this year’s Six Nations campaign
