The 21-year-old former England under 20’s international is Welsh qualified and is equally comfortable playing at lock as he is the back-row. Taylor played for the Red Rose at under-17, 18 and 20 level, scoring a try as they beat Ireland 45-21 in Manchester in the final of the Junior World Cup two years ago and has made 24 appearances for Worcester.
“I am very excited to be joining the Dragons at this time,” said Taylor.
“They have a youthful team there with great potential to develop, and I am looking forward to being an integral part of that change. It appears to be an up and coming environment and I am excited to get stuck in next season.”
“I am very grateful to Worcester Warriors for all of the significant experience I have learned throughout my time here and will play to the best of my ability for the remainder of my time here.”
Taylor is one of a number of new signings at the Dragons, with British & Irish Lions star Ross Moriarty, former Scarlets scrum half Rhodri Williams and Jordan Williams among a host of players who will turn out at Rodney Parade next season.
“We are delighted to be able to bring Huw to the Dragons next season,” said Jackman.
“He is a valuable addition to our squad because of his versatility in that he can play lock or back row and is an excellent lineout forward. He has strong leadership credentials despite his young age and we look forward to helping him realise his undoubted potential with us over the next two seasons.”
