Scarlets have signed Wales prop Corey Domachowksi from Cardiff.

Domachowski, 29, has played 10 internationals after making his Test debut against England in the summer of 2023.

He will help fill the void left by Scotland loose-head Alec Hepburn, who is leaving for Edinburgh.

“I’m at a point in my career where I need a new challenge and this is one I’m excited about,” said Domachowski.

“Leaving Cardif after more than 10 years isn’t easy and I am grateful all the supporters for everything they’ve given me.

“I’ve always worn the Cardiff jersey with honour and pride and I’ll be taking that mindset to west Wales.”

Domachowski will join Scarlets for the 2026-27 season although the length of his contract has not been disclosed.

Scarlets number eight Fletcher Anderson and captain Josh Macleod have also signed deals to stay but Wales wing Tom Rogers will leave for Ospreys at the end of the season, while South Africa hooker Marnus van der Merwe will join Munster.

“Corey brings proven experience at the highest level, in the United Rugby Championship (URC), Champions Cup and international game and that’s what we need as we continue to build,” said Scarlets interim director of rugby Nigel Davies.

“He’s a strong set-piece operator, a physical carrier and, importantly, someone who understands what it takes to compete consistently at the top end of the game.”
