Corsi is regarded as one of the best young tight-heads in Wales

Dragons and Wales squad prop Jamie Corsi will be out until December with a shoulder injury.

The 20-year-old tight-head suffered the injury near the end of last season and, after an operation, he has been told he will be out for another five months.

Corsi, part of the Wales Under-19 Grand Slam side in 2006, toured Australia with the senior Wales side last year.

But his highly promising career stalled as a variety of injuries meant he had just one Dragons match in 2007/8.
