Fijian back row forward Netani Talei has left Newport Gwent Dragons with immediate effect, the Welsh side have confirmed.

The 31-year-old joined the Dragons from Edinburgh last year and made 20 appearances for them during the 2014-15 season.

However, he has not featured during the current campaign after undergoing foot surgery in August and has now parted company with the Guinness PRO12 outfit.

"I would like to thank Netani for his contribution to the Dragons over the past 12 months," Dragons chief executive Gareth Davies told the Dragons’ official website.

"He is a dedicated rugby player and has been a great addition to the squad over the past season. We wish him all the best with his recovery and his future in rugby."
