 Liam Davies says the appeal of Brive was irresistible |
Scrum-half Liam Davies has left Llanelli Scarlets to take up a contract at French top-flight club Brive. The 22-year-old Davies, 22, is the third Scarlet to join the big-spending French club in the past two years, following Barry Davies and Alix Popham. The Wales Under-21 man joined the Scarlets as an apprentice aged 18, before taking a two-year professional deal that expired this summer. "Leaving is sad, but the style of rugby at Brive was irresistible," he said.  | 606: DEBATE |
"Before signing I spoke with my old team-mate Barry Davies, who couldn't say enough good things about the club. "To be able to play for Brive is the stuff of dreams which I am sure will make me a stronger player, both physically and mentally." The Scarlets also lose first-choice scrum-half Dwayne Peel in the summer, the Wales and Lions star having accepted an offer from Sale Sharks. Veteran Tongan scrum-half Sililo Martens is joining the Scarlets, along with Ospreys youngster Martin Roberts.
