New signing Fletcher Anderson is set to link up with the squad at Parc y Scarlets next week.
The 22-year-old No. 8 is heading to West Wales on the back of an outstanding season for New Zealand provincial side Tasman Makos, where he was voted Man of the Year, Player of the Year and Defender of the Year.
Kirby Myhill’s loan spell with the Scarlets has come to an end. Kirby, who came through the Scarlets Academy ranks, was brought in as injury cover for the opening block of the BKT United Rugby Championship season and played in all four matches against Munster, DHL Stormers, the Lions and Hollywoodbets Sharks.
Everyone at the Scarlets wishes Kirby well for the next chapter in his career.
Second rowers Harvey Cuckson (Bath) and Alex Groves (DHL Stormers) have returned to their clubs following short-term loan deals. The club would like to thank both for their contributions and commitment during their time in South Africa and wish them the best for the remainder of the season.
On the injury front, Josh Macleod (pectoral muscle), Eddie James (back), Max Douglas (ribs), Ryan Elias (elbow) and Jac Price (nerve injury) are all making positive progress in their recoveries ahead of the resumption of URC action at the end of November when Scarlets take on former champions Glasgow Warriors at Parc y Scarlets (Saturday, November 29).
Academy back-rower Dom Kossuth is rehabilitating after picking up a knee injury playing for Llandovery and is expected to return in the New Year.
Fellow Academy forwards Osian Williams (ankle) and Will Evans (hamstring) are continuing their recoveries as part of the ‘return to play’ group.
