Amos makes Cardiff move

■ CARDIFF Blues last night announced their second Welsh international signing of the week with Hallam Amos following Josh Adams in moving to Cardiff Arms Park.

■ The 19-times capped back three star will join the Blues from the Dragons at the end of this season after spending eight years with the Gwent region.

■ Amos, 24, said: “I’ve been involved in the Dragons set-up for a decade and I am so thankful to them for giving me my first opportunity as a professional.

■ “They have been brilliant in allowing me to combine rugby and my medical studies and I will leave Rodney Parade with lifelong friends. ■ “But I am getting to the stage of my career, especially with my degree nearing its end, where I will benefit from a fresh environment and what John Mulvihill and Cardiff Blues are doing is fantastic.

■ “It’s a really exciting time for the Blues and I am looking forward to getting into the environment and contributing to the future success of the region.”

■ Mulvihill added: “Hallam is a hugely impressive man and a very talented wing and full-back who will really thrive within our competitive environment.

■ “I’ve been impressed with his professionalism and diligence to combine his rugby with his medical studies and he will be a big asset for us both on and off the field.”
