Scarlets Flanker James Davies Pens New Deal

Scarlets openside flanker James Davies has put pen to paper extending his stay with his home region.

Davies, 27, is due to make a return to action during Scarlets’ Guinness PRO14 clash against Cheetahs on Saturday.

The Olympic silver medallist underwent surgery to a shoulder injury sustained last season, after featuring in Scarlets’ opening Guinness PRO14 clash against Southern Kings at Parc y Scarlets.
 
Fans favourite Davies was named in Guinness PRO12’s 2016-17 Dream Team having scored three tries and led the league in turnovers won with a record-high of 33.
 
Davies made his first regional appearance four years ago against Dragons in the Anglo-Welsh Cup campaign whilst representing Carmarthen Quins. He went on to make 22 competitive appearances for the Scarlets in his debut season as a professional, starting 16 games.
 
Commenting on the news head coach Wayne Pivac said; “James is a very important member of the squad both on and off the field and I’m over the moon that he’s re-signed with the region.
 

James Davies said; “It has been a frustrating start to the season for me on a personal note having to watch from the sidelines but I am pleased to have signed a contract extension with the Scarlets.
