Mason Grady has pledged his long-term future to Cardiff Rugby with a new contract to remain at the Arms Park. 

The Wales star penned a one-year deal last year but has now agreed a multi-season contract. 

He is the latest homegrown star to commit to Cardiff as the club continues to build for an exciting future. 

Grady is delighted to be staying in Blue & Black and is determined to take his game to the next level. 

He said: “I’m really happy to sign this long-term contract with Cardiff and I’m excited for what the future holds. 

“This is the club I grew up supporting, I can remember fondly coming here as a kid and I have come through the pathway. I have a lot of good friends here and I believe we have huge potential.

“On a personal level, I feel this is the best environment for me to continue my development. I’ve had some set-backs with injuries but feel like I’m getting back to my best and it’s about consistently improving and putting my game on the pitch. 

A squad packed with talent.

“To come to the Arms Park every day is such a privilege, which I am very grateful for. We have a squad packed with talent, whether experienced players to learn from or exciting youngsters, and we are all competing and driving each other on. 

“We are heading in the right direction and are determined to keep doing that. I’m really looking forward to playing my part in the next few years and hope we can do the amazing supporters at the Arms Park proud.”

The wing-cum-centre is regarded as one of the most exciting players in Wales due to his size, speed and athleticism. Standing at 6ft 4ins and weighing 111kg, Grady is a physically imposing figure with the ability to change a game.

He made his first team debut 2020-21 and has made 59 first team appearances since, despite suffering long-term injuries. 

Now fit and firing following a shoulder injury in pre-season, Grady has returned to make 11 first team appearances, scoring three tries and recently earned a recall to the international stage where he has now won 15 caps. 

There’s more to come from Mason!

Corniel van Zyl said: “We are very happy to keep Mason at the Arms Park. He is a local boy, who has come through the ranks and cares deeply about the club. 

“He’s obviously had a few setbacks with injuries recently but he has come back from them well. There was a bit of expectation on him at the beginning, but he settled back nicely and has found some good form in recent weeks. 

“His game is definitely growing, he is highly motivated to continue improving and we are excited to see where he can go. 

“With his size, pace and power, he has an athletic ability and attributes that are rare in Wales, while his basics are improving every day.

“So we are delighted he has decided to continue his journey in a Cardiff jersey and we look forward to helping him push onto the next level.”
