Back David Richards has scored four tries for Dragons this season including last week's winner against Zebre

Dragons utility back David Richards has signed a new contract to remain with his home team.

The 26-year-old re-signed for a second spell with the Men of Gwent in July following impressive performances with Newport RFC, helping the Black and Ambers to the Super Rygbi Cymru title.

Richards – who can operate at wing, centre or full-back – has made 15 appearances to date this season, scoring four tries - including the last-play winner against Zebre Parma last Friday night.

"I feel honoured to be a part of the squad this year, something 12 months ago I'd probably given up on," said Richards.
