Fly-half Callum Sheedy has committed his future to Cardiff, saying he is “desperate to do everything possible to make sure it is a successful period for the club”.

The 30-year-old Wales international joined his home club from Bristol for the 2024-25 season and is the latest to sign a new deal with Cardiff not revealing the duration of his new contract.

“Playing at the Arms Park is the most special feeling. We have incredible supporters, they are close to the pitch and the atmosphere is electric,” said Sheedy.

“To be able to connect with the fans and see how much passion they have is a massive driving factor both for myself and the wider group.

“I’m really excited by what the future holds.”

Fly-half Sam Costelow will miss the rest of the Scarlets’ season after ankle surgery and faces a race to be fit for Wales’ Nations Championship campaign in July.

Costelow suffered the injury during Wales’ Six Nations defeat against Scotland in Cardiff in February which forced him to miss the final two games of the tournament.

The 25-year-old had been recalled to start against the Scots and was impressive in the narrow defeat before being forced off injured. Ospreys outside-half Dan Edwards returned for the rest of the competition.

Costelow will be absent for the final four games of the Scarlets’ season in the United Rugby Championship (URC) which finishes in mid-May.

He now faces a battle to be fit for Wales’ summer programme which starts with the uncapped international against Barbarians at Twickenham on 27 June.
