Newport Gwent Dragons have announced that director of rugby Lyn Jones has agreed a new two-year deal.

Jones' contract will now keep him at Rodney Parade until June 2017.

The former Wales flanker was appointed Dragons director of rugby in June 2013 after his time as head coach at London Welsh and he led them to a European Challenge Cup semi-final this season.

"The first two years have been about change, but the next two will be about regaining respect in the world of rugby through consistent performances and results," Jones said.

Dragons chief executive Stuart Davies said: "Lyn heads up an excellent all-Welsh rugby management team overseeing a very exciting squad.

"Our younger players are in great hands as we look to build on a very promising season in the years ahead, and Lyn has earned the opportunity to lead the side as we seek to further enhance a growing reputation."
