The 28-year-old will link up with the Scarlets next season, having made almost 150 Premiership and Heineken Cup appearances in Gloucester colours.

Scarlets rugby director Phil Davies said: "We have a lot of young players coming through at Stradey Park, and Adam offers a bit of experience.

"I am sure Adam will do a good job for us, as he has gained plenty of experience playing both in England and Europe."

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
