Cardiff Rugby can confirm Thomas Young will leave the club at the end of the season.

The open side flanker, who came through the Cardiff pathway, returned to the club in 2022, following nine years in the English Premiership. He quickly became an important figure at the Arms Park and has now made 59 appearances, scoring 18 tries.

However, the 32-year-old’s contract, which expires in June has not been renewed and he will move to pastures new at the end of the current campaign, with the club’s best wishes.

Cardiff Rugby head coach Matt Sherratt said: “Thomas has been a great servant to the club and will leave in the summer with our very best wishes.  He is an excellent player and a very popular member of our squad and will be missed.  Him and his family will always be welcome back at The Arms Park”
