Steve Richards has joined the Dragons from Ulster as the Welsh region's strength and conditioning coach.

The former Neath, Pontypridd and Celtic Warriors fitness coach returns to Wales on a two-year contract after spending two years in Belfast.

"I've enjoyed my coaching career and have been fortunate to work with some great people along the way," said Rhondda-born Richards.

"But Wales is my home - and I'm thrilled to be back."
