Scarlets snap up Arwel
Arwel Thomas
Thomas moves from Pau via the defunct Warriors
The Scarlets have signed ex-Wales fly-half Arwel Thomas on a one-year deal.

He will compete with Gareth Bowen for the number 10 shirt at Stradey Park, following Stephen Jones' decision to leave Llanelli for Montferrand.

Thomas, 29, was with Pau last season, but had signed a deal with the Celtic Warriors before they were disbanded.

"I want to give it a good crack and get my form back," Thomas told the South Wales Evening Post. ''I believe I have four good seasons left."

The Scarlets have also signed the Warriors' promising young hooker Matthew Rees.

The moves come on the day that another former Warrior, Tongan flanker Maama Molitika, has been signed by Harlequins.

Warriors and Wales full-back Kevin Morgan, one of the biggest names left searching for a contract, says he is confident of a deal for next season.

Morgan says he is in talks with the four remaining Welsh regions, but that he could be forced to take up offers from outside the country.
