Wales prop Rhys Carre to stay in Cardiff
By PA
Wales prop Rhys Carre has signed a new contract with Cardiff, the United Rugby Championship side have announced.
The 23-year-old loosehead came through the Arms Park region’s youth system and returned to the Welsh capital in 2020 following a season with Saracens.
Carre’s existing deal had been due to expire at the end of the current campaign.
“It is a really exciting place to be at the moment and it is great that I can continue to be a part of that,” Carre, who has won 16 Test caps and is part of Wayne Pivac’s Wales squad for the forthcoming Guinness Six Nations, told the Cardiff website.
“I’m really looking forward to driving things forward both individually and as a team.”
Cardiff have already strengthened for next season by signing the likes of Liam Williams, Taulupe Faletau and Thomas Young, and director of rugby Dai Young was delighted to see Carre extend his stay.
“He is still a young man, particularly as an international prop, and he will continue to grow, develop and mature in the front row,” said the Cardiff boss.

Agree with Wilson B- at best. And that is down to skilled individual players who know how to play the game - not a cohesive squad who know their roles and game plan. For those who claim that takes time to develop, the process is to keep the game plan simple at first and add layers as the squad gels and settles in to the new systems. Lack of progress against the rush D, lack of penetration and innovation in the mid-field, basic skill errors and loose forwards coming second in most big games all still evident in game 14 of the season. Hard to see significant measureable progress.
Go to commentsKeep telling yourself that. The time for a fresh broom is at the beginning - not some "balanced, incremental" (i.e. status quo) transition. All teams establish the way forward at the beginning. This coaching group lacked ideas and courage and the players showed it on the pitch. Backs are only average. Forwards are unbalanced and show good set piece but no domination in traditional AB open play. Unfortunately, Foster - Mark 2. You may be happy with those performances and have some belief in some "cunning plan" but I don't see any evidence of it. Rassie is miles ahead and increasing the gap.
