The Scarlets have confirmed that flyhalf Ceiron Thomas has left the region to join Guinness Premiership club Leeds Carnegie.
Speaking about his move, Thomas said: "I thank the Scarlets for all the encouragement they've given me during my time there. I have some great memories from my time with my team mates.
"I have enjoyed meeting many of the great Scarlets supporters and I’m sure the region will go from strength to strength. However, I felt it was time for a new challenge and this is a great time to be going to Leeds Carnegie. They have a wonderful set-up and I'm relishing the prospect of playing in the Guinness Premiership."
Hereford-born Thomas made his debut for the Scarlets in the 2003/04 season. He went on to taste action in the Heineken Cup, Magners League and EDF Energy Cup.
The 25 year-old made 71 appearances for the Welsh region, scoring seven tries. His 288 career points haul included 62 conversions, 42 penalty kicks and a drop goal.
The 2008/09 campaign brought 19 Scarlets appearances including a game against the Barbarians which saw him bag 10 points.
Scarlets head coach Nigel Davies said: "We wish Ceiron all the best for the future. In a squad featuring the world-class flyhalf talent of Stephen Jones he has had to be patient; he has always been an excellent professional."
As well as Jones at No 10, the Scarlets can call on new Wales cap Daniel Evans and exciting 22-year-old prospect Rhys Priestland.
With thanks to the Scarlets.
