Alongside Wainwright, fellow Wales back-row Mackenzie Martin has also been included on the list, with a move to Pro D2’s Beziers being reported. The five-cap 22-year-old has spent the season on loan from Cardiff.

A further two Wales internationals, sevens representatives James Benjamin and Ewan Rosser, are also set to leave the club, with Benjamin also announcing his retirement at the end of the season.

“I’d like to take this opportunity on behalf of everyone at Dragons RFC to thank those leaving us at the end of the season for the commitment and professionalism they’ve always shown throughout their time at Rodney Parade,” head coach Filo Tiatia said.

“Players such as Aaron and James have played over a century of games for the club and will leave a lasting impression with their impact and performances.

“We wish all those leaving us every success moving forward and will aways warmly welcome them and their families back to Rodney Parade in the future.”
