Harri Millard has put pen to paper on a new contract to remain with Cardiff Rugby.
The versatile back has enjoyed an impressive season in Blue and Black, having feared his career was over.
With budgets tightening, he was released at the end of last season but was handed a reprieve and has not looked back since.
He is thrilled to sign a new contract and is determined to continue repaying the club and fans next season.
Millard said: “I’m very happy to sign another contract with Cardiff. We are playing a great brand of rugby, which everyone is buying into and enjoying.
“I have loved every game I’ve been involved in this season and the fans have been absolutely brilliant, packing out the Arms Park and creating an amazing atmosphere.
“It is also great to have so many youngsters coming through, playing so well and getting international honours.
“I’m now really looking forward to the rest of this season and continuing to build as a group under Matt Sherratt and the rest of the back-room staff.”
The 27-year-old made his debut for the club against Glasgow in 2016. The earlier years of his career had been punctuated by injuries but he has been in fine form this season.
Millard has made eight appearances and has played a key-role with his work rate and tenacity.
Cardiff Rugby head coach Matt Sherratt said: “I’m really pleased to keep Harri here beyond the current season.
“I have said previously that I was convinced he would be a breakthrough player during my first stint at the club. Injuries really impacted those years but he has great ability, which he has regularly displayed this season.
“He can beat people one-on-one, he is very fast, and I think he’s surprised people with that this season, is explosive and physical.
“What has impressed me most this season though, has been his sheer work-rate in things like kick-chase, his defensive work and fight for the team, which typify all the characteristics we want to see in this team.”
