Australia A centre Marc Stcherbina has left the Blues to join regional rivals the Dragons on a one-year contract.

Stcherbina, 31, has made 52 appearances in three years at the Arms Park, but a serious shoulder problem limited his impact last season.

Stcherbina began his career with New South Wales Waratahs before moving to Biarritz, then to England for a successful spell with Northampton.

"We're delighted to get Marc," Dragons coach Paul Turner told the Argus.

"We tend to lack a bit of experience and direction and Marc will bring us that."

Meanwhile, the Dragons have been drawn against London Irish in the Middlesex Sevens (16 August).
