CARDIFF are set to sign Welsh-qualified lock George Nott from the Dragons and stem the tide of players heading down the M4 from the Welsh capital to Newport.

Nott likely: Cardiff ready to swoop for Dragons ace

The 29-year-old has spent the last three seasons at Rodney Parade, having joined the Gwent side from London Irish in 2022.

Nott has made 41 appearances for the Dragons, playing a big part in the Dragons having statistically the best line-out in the United Rugby Championship during his debut season.

Prior to joining the Dragons, the Welsh-born lock turned out for Sale and London Irish in the Premiership, while he was also a part of the team of the tournament after helping England U20s win the 2017 U20s World Championship.

In moving from Newport to Cardiff, Nott will buck a recent trend with the Dragons set to sign Seb Davies, Thomas Young and Tinus de Beer from the capital club.

Former Cardiff tighthead Dillon Lewis is also heading to Newport from Harlequins ahead of next season.
