Tom James joins Scarlets on two-year deal

Scarlets have signed former Wales international wing Tom James on a two-year contract.

The 32-year-old will link up with the squad next week, continuing an impressive career in professional rugby.

James played 163 games for Cardiff Blues in two spells that spanned 11 seasons. He also had two years with Exeter Chiefs in the English Premiership.

A powerful, pacy runner, he was capped 12 times for Wales, making his last Test appearance against Scotland in the 2016 Six Nations.

“I can’t wait to get started. I am absolutely delighted to have secured this move with the Scarlets,” said Tom.
“At the end of last season I felt I still had plenty to offer professional rugby, but the opportunity didn’t come at the Blues.
“I have worked hard in the off-season, feel in good shape and the hunger is there again after a tough couple of years.
“This is an exciting move for me, especially with the way the Scarlets play the game and hopefully I can also offer my experience to the younger players in the squad.
“I want to prove to people that Tom James is back.”
