Dan Davis signs first professional contract with Scarlets

Dan Davis, one of Welsh rugby’s rising back-row talents, has signed his first professional contract with the Scarlets.

The 20-year-old openside has enjoyed a breakthrough season for the region, making 16 appearances and featuring in the European Champions Cup games against Ulster, Leicester and Racing 92.

A Wales Under-20s cap, he is another product of the Scarlets Academy, which has produced so many international players over recent years.

“Dan is a player the Scarlets and Welsh rugby can be very excited about,” said Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac.

“He is still learning and developing his game, but he has already shown this season what he is capable of, both at PRO14 and European level.

“It is great news for him and the Scarlets that he has committed his future to the region.”
