The Dragons receive a boost this week as seven previously injured players become eligible for selection ahead of their clash with Ulster at Ravenhill on Friday 15 February, kick-off 19.30.
Forwards Richard Parks and Steve Jones both missed out on the Heineken Cup games last month due to injury.
Parks, who returns from a knee injury picked up against Cardiff Blues over the Christmas period, is delighted to return to the squad ahead of this weekend’s Magners League game.
“It’s great news that I’m available for selection this week. I had the opportunity to get a lot of rehab done in the short break during the internationals and it’s paid off with me retuning earlier than some had originally expected,” he said.
“I am enjoying being back with the squad and hope to pick up from where I left off if selected this weekend.”
Ashley Smith returns after picking up a back injury against London Irish at the Madejski Stadium and Joe Bearman is fighting fit following a double hernia operation.
Full back Martyn Thomas is back after ten weeks due to a groin injury and Lee Harrison and Jamie Corsi return from long-term injury, having started for Newport and Cross Keys (respectively) in the Premiership last weekend.
