Wales star Wainwright set to exit the domestic scene

has been capped 62 times for Wales

AARON Wainwright is set to become the latest star to leave Welsh rugby with the Wales backrower expected to sign for English side Leicester Tigers.

WalesOnline understands the Dragons matched Leicester's financial offer for the 62-times capped backrower but the 28-year-old wanted to experience a fresh challenge in the Gallagher Prem.

Wainwright has spent the entirety of his professional career at the Dragons to date but he will become the third big name Wales international to sign for an English club in the past month, with Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake joining Gloucester.

The Welsh Rugby Union has thrown the game in Wales into turmoil with plans to reduce the number of professional teams from four to three.
