Gethin Jenkins to rejoin Cardiff Blues from Toulon

Cardiff Blues have announced that prop Gethin Jenkins will return to the club from Toulon at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old, who has earned 96 caps for Wales, left the club last summer to pen a two-year contract with the French outfit.

Director of rugby Phil Davies told the club's official website: "I am really pleased to have re-signed Gethin. We started the year knowing we had a young squad and it has been a massive season of progression, sometimes the results have not gone our way.

"Gethin will be coming back to an environment that is a little different from the one he left and I think, hopefully, he will enjoy it and I know that he will add a massive amount to the group. I have heard how professional he is and I am really looking forward to working with him and welcoming him back to the Blues."

Jenkins has struggled in Toulon to fight Andrew Sheridan for a place in the side.
