Dragons have signed versatile back row Harry Taylor on a short-term loan from Gallagher Premiership side Gloucester.

Taylor, 22, will give Dragons a welcome option amid an injury crisis in the back row at Rodney Parade.

Taylor made his Gloucester debut in 2021 but his game-time has been limited so far this season.

"We're really pleased to be able to bring in a player of Harry's quality on a short-term loan agreement," said Dragons head coach Dai Flanagan.

"He is a versatile forward and good athlete, and he will give us much needed depth to our back row resources with a number of key players either injured or away on international duty."

Former England Under-20 forward Taylor is available for Dragons' United Rugby Championship game at Ulster on Saturday.
