Eddie James: Wales centre signs new Scarlets contract

James is the latest player to have signed a new contract before the 2026-27 campaign alongside Fletcher Anderson, Josh Macleod, Henry Thomas, Gareth Davies, Dan Davis, Sam Lousi, Harri O’Connor, Jac Davies, Will Evans, Carwyn Leggatt-Jones and Gabe Hawley.

The club have also added 10 new signings with fly-half Gareth Anscombe, props Chris Apoua and Corey Domachowski, second rows Harvey Cuckson, Alex Groves and Tom Allen, hookers John McKee and George Roberts, full-back Isaac Murray-Macgregor and All Black Cullen Grace arriving in Llanelli.

“Keeping Eddie at Parc y Scarlets is a significant signing for our club and we are delighted he will continue his rugby journey with us,” said Scarlets director of rugby Nigel Davies.

“Having players like Eddie at the heart of what we’re building is as important as new players coming into the squad.

“We’re proud of our ethos of developing our own players and we want to give our young Welsh players an environment in which they know they can achieve their ambitions in a Scarlets jersey.”
