Stade Francais have signed Nottingham scrum-half Charlie Davies. The 19-year-old made six appearances for the National One side last season, scoring one try and will head to Paris for pre-season training next month. "It's only just sunk in that I'm going to be playing for Stade next season because I have just been over to sign my contract," he said. "I will be mainly playing Under-23s but I hope to get into the first team there," he added. The Derbyshire-born player continued: "The coaches said that if I prove myself by playing well I will get the chance to do that. "I will miss Nottingham, I settled into the team very well and made a lot of good friends here and the boys have been very supportive. "I will miss the general banter with the boys and obviously I might get homesick but my mum will probably be out in Paris every weekend." Stade finished third in the 2008-09 Top 14, the French domestic championship.
