Cardiff Rugby have added further depth to their back-line with the re-signing of utility back Harri Millard.
The versatile was announced as a leaver at the end of the 2022-23 season but he has now agreed a new deal to return to the Arms Park.
Millard, who can turn out in the centre or on the wing, has made 39 first-team appearances since making his debut in 2016.
The 26-year-old had forged a reputation as an elusive runner with a dangerous turn of pace and head coach Matt Sherratt believes he can take his game to the next level with opportunity.
Sherratt said: “I’m delighted that Harri has recommitted to Cardiff. In my first stint at the club I was certain that Harri would be the next breakthrough player but unfortunately he has picked up injuries just as he was finding his rhythm.
“He has got the ability to beat someone one versus one, good pace and his support lines are excellent. Harri can now take this opportunity to become a regular starter in the URC"
Millard came through the ranks at Mountain Ash and progressed through the Cardiff pathway and academy system. He has also been a standout performer when utilised for Cardiff RFC.
Now he is delighted to have the opportunity to continue pulling on the famous Blue and Black at the Arms Park.
Millard said: “First of all I am very happy to be staying at Cardiff. I enjoy playing with a great bunch of boys and staff, and I am looking forward to adding to that this coming season.
“It is a great environment at the club with Matt Sherratt taking charge and he is someone I have a lot of respect for and believe can bring the best out of me.
“I am determined to take another step forward in my career. The crowd at the Arms Park is amazing and I cannot wait to play in front of it again.”
