Wales lock Carter cleared for Dragons after injury
Dragons co-captain Ben Carter fit for start of United Rugby Championship season after recovering from summer ankle injury suffered with Wales.
Ben Carter, the Dragons co-captain, will be available for the start of the 2026-27 United Rugby Championship after recovering from a summer ankle injury sustained during Wales' match against South Africa. The 25-year-old lock had started six games for Wales and was sidelined after a blow in training, but he did not require surgery.
Defence coach Dale MacLeod stated that Carter is in the best shape he has seen him in and is making a strong return to training. Carter made 17 appearances for Dragons last season, all as a starter, and scored nine games for his country. With the regular season concluding on 4 October, Terrell Peita, a summer signing, is expected to link up with the Dragons after the World Cup, potentially making his debut in December.
