Second row Jac Price has become the latest home-grown player to sign a new Scarlets contract.
The 25-year-old from Carmarthen has played 59 games for the club since making his debut against the Ospreys in 2020.
A product of Carmarthen Quins, Jac was a member of the Wales U20s squad that played in the 2019 World Championships in Argentina.
“I’m proud to have signed a new contract and to continue to represent this club. I’m a boy from Carmarthen who used to go to watch the Scarlets play at Stradey Park as a youngster. It’s big for me and my family,” said Jac.
“We have a young team who are determined to build on what we achieved at the end of the season in reaching the URC play-offs and qualifying for the Champions Cup. We want to start the season how we finished the last one, in a good place.
“It is great to see the players coming through the academy, but there’s still plenty of older heads like Sam (Lousi) and Jake (Ball), who I can learn off and hopefully I can pass on some of my experience to the youngsters coming through – trying to do what those boys have done for me over the years.
Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel added: “Jac has become a valued member of the squad having played more than a half century of games for the club.
“He has grown up in the region and understands what it means to be a Scarlet. He has played in some big games for the club over the years and is someone who we feel will mature into a leader within the squad.”
Jac is the latest player to re-commit to the Scarlets, following Macs Page, Tomi Lewis, Eddie James, Joe Roberts, Sam Costelow, Kemsley Mathias, Taine Plumtree, Johnny Williams, Sam O’Connor and Ioan Nicholas.
Ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, Scarlets have also signed Wales internationals Jake Ball and Joe Hawkins, scrum-half Dane Blacker, back-rower Tristan Davies and full-back Ioan Jones.
