Cardiff Blues can confirm regional stalwart Taufa'ao Filise has penned a new one-year deal.
The Tongan tight-head arrived at Cardiff Arms Park in 2006 and quickly established himself as a cornerstone of the pack.
He has already made 241 appearances for the region, more than anyone else, and is now embarking on his 12th season in the capital.
We also delighted to announce Brad Thyer, Matthew Rees, Scott Andrews, Anton Peikrishvili and Lewis Jones have also agreed new deals completing the squad for the upcoming 2017-18 season.
