9 players to leave Scarlets at the end of the season
A number of key players are to go after Saturday's final URC game
Scarlets have confirmed 9 senior players will leave the club at the end of the season...
Fans will bid farewell to Wales prop Rob Evans, Steff Hughes, Tyler Morgan, Marc Jones, Tom Phillips and Tomi Lewis after the final United Rugby Championship game of the season - against the Stormers - on Saturday.
It had already been announced Liam Williams and Angus O'Brien are joining Cardiff and Dragons while James Davies is retiring on medical grounds.
Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel said: “I’d like to thank all these players for everything they have given to the Scarlets jersey.
"Boys like Rob, Steff, Cubby and Liam have played more than a century of games for the club and they will be fondly remembered by everyone here, staff, team-mates and supporters. They can be extremely proud of what they have achieved and I am sure they will have great memories of representing the Scarlets over the years.
“Every season players move on and we always respect the decisions that are made. With a reduced playing budget, we have had to cut our squad for next season and that has meant we have had some difficult decisions to make.
“The players have continued to give their full commitment, as they have always done, and I’m sure our supporters will give them the reception they all deserve at our final game against the Stormers on Saturday. I wish them all well for what comes next.”
