Former Wales Under-20 international Fawcett has joined up with his new team-mates ahead of the Guinness PRO14 fixture with Munster this weekend.
Haverfordwest-born Fawcett made his Scarlets debut in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, having worked his way through the Academy system at the region.
The dynamic 22-year-old, who is strong in the set piece and mobile around the pitch, represented Wales Under-20s during the 2016 Six Nations as they claimed the Grand Slam.
Head Coach Ceri Jones said: “Rhys has joined us on a short-term deal and boosts our front row resources, particularly with the likes of Ryan Bevington and Aaron Jarvis currently ruled out.
“Rhys is a talented young front row who is eager to make an impression in senior rugby, after impressing for Wales Under-20s and in the Academy system.
“We are pleased to have him join us and look forward to seeing Rhys make an impression in our set-up.”

If Jones had been coach of Australia during this period of results Mark Giteau would have been calling for his head.
Go to commentsOk look with all due respect he inherited a crusaders team full of all blacks. Let's see how he does from scratch? Which means takes a team with no world class players and makes them shine then we will see how good he is. Robbie Deans had almost the same success with the crusaders but we know how he did as The wallabies coach.
