WELSH rugby’s pin-up boy Gavin Henson hasn’t ruled out a move to the Newport Gwent Dragons next season.

The talented but controversial star – who makes his eagerly anticipated Wales comeback against the Barbarians tomorrow -– has been linked with Rodney Parade.

Although Henson would love to play in the South of France again after leaving Toulon last week, he refused to count out the Dragons.

“I’m not going to rule anything out. I just hope there is a job out there for me somewhere,” the 29-year-old centre said.

“I just think with what I’ve witnessed with that French league, it is pretty special over there to be honest, when you’ve got 20, 30,000 people watching you every week, wherever you play, and the game is really loved down there.

“It’s a great environment. So I don’t know. These are the decisions I need to make.”

Henson also said he would like to move back to play in Wales so he can be near the son and daughter he has with his former partner, the singer Charlotte Church.

“I wouldn’t even rule out playing in Wales next year,” he added.

“Obviously I’ve got a strong allegiance with the Ospreys you know. They’ve always been my club.

“I would obviously give them first option. I’d like to think they’d take me back on if I did come back to Wales.

“But if not, I will look somewhere else. My kids are in Wales, so if I need to find work in Wales for that reason then I’ll play for anyone.”

But first, Henson said, he needs to have a blinder against the Baa-Baas at the Millennium Stadium tomorrow to cement his place in the summer internationals to be in with a shout of making Wales’ World Cup squad, something he covets.

“It’s a massive game for me on Saturday. It’s the last chance saloon – I’ve got to go for it,” said Henson, who will win his 32nd cap. Wales is the most important thing for me. I’ve never been to a World Cup - this is my only chance to make it right so I’m hoping for a big game on Saturday.

“For me, the World Cup is the biggest spectacle, the biggest thing in a rugby career.

“I’ve never been to one. I’ve always watched them.

“I’ve watched football World Cups, the lot, and they’re always massive occasions and that’s where you want to be.

“I don’t want to watch this on TV again. I want to be there. I’d like to have an influence on the next one.”
