Veteran Welsh hooker Richard Hibbard will return to Wales and join ambitious region Dragons at the end of the present season from Premiership outfit Gloucester, he announced. The 34-year-old -- capped 38 times and a member of the British and Irish Lions Test side that beat Australia 2-1 in 2013 -- joins compatriot Ross Moriarty in making the same move. Hibbard, described by Gloucester's director of rugby David Humphreys as an "absolute warrior", had another year on his contract to run but wanted to bring down the curtain on his stellar career back in his homeland. Hibbard said he had been impressed by the plans Dragons head coach and former Ireland hooker Bernard Jackman had in mind for the region, who have been the lowest finishing Welsh side in all but one of the last 12 seasons.
