Scarlets and Brew opt for split

Nathan Brew has found himself surplus to requirements at the Scarlets

The Scarlets have parted company with once-capped Wales three-quarter Nathan Brew by "mutual agreement", before the end of his two-year contract.

The 26-year-old has made just 12 starts since his Scarlets debut in February 2007 and last played for them in their EDF Cup win at Saracens in October.

His chances have been limited by injury and the form of All Black Regan King in his favoured outside centre position.

Brew won his Wales cap in 2003 during his time with Newport Gwent Dragons.

Scarlets chief executive Stuart Gallacher said: "We're grateful for Nathan for his contribution since he joined us nearly two years ago and we wish him well in the future."
