BARRY DAVIES RECOMMITS TO THE SCARLETS

BARRY DAVIES RECOMMITS TO THE SCARLETS

Head Coach Nigel Davies described the signing as proof the Scarlets were putting together one of the most exciting back line in European rugby.

Barry joined the club as a 19 year-old from Carmarthen Athletic and has since made 118 appearance for Llanelli / Llanelli Scarlets.  He has scored 22 tries for the region, none more spectacular than his try at Northampton that clinched a quarter final place in the European Cup two seasons ago.  He is also a prodigious goal kicker.

There had been speculation linking Barry to other clubs but he re-signed his contract today saying he was delighted to be staying at Stradey. 

“I’ve got a lot of respect for the players and coaches here. We’ve got ambitious plans and there’s a real buzz around the changing rooms and I want to continue to be part of it. It was flattering to have other clubs wanting to sign me but now the decision is made it’s a weight off my shoulders. I’m just looking forward to playing against Leinster tomorrow (Saturday 7th Jan).

Nigel Davies added: “Barry’s been very much part of the region from his early development and shares our values and ambition.  Over the last couple of years in particular he has improved significantly as a player and is of international standard. We’re all delighted he’s staying.  It shows he’s confident in where we’re going.”
