Liam Davies (born 12 Feb 1995) Davies began his professional rugby career with the Llanelli Scarlets, and made his league debut for the Scarlets while still in the region's development squad, playing against Cardiff Blues on 14 September 2005. He made a further nine appearances in the 2005–06 season, scoring a try against Glasgow Warriors on 16 October 2005. In March 2006, Davies was promoted to the Scarlets' first team squad, signing on a professional development contract.[1]
Davies started the 2006–07 season as the Scarlets' third-choice scrum-half, behind Dwayne Peel and Clive Stuart-Smith, and so was forced to wait until December to make his first appearance of the season. Again, he made a further nine appearances that season, scoring one try.
With Dwayne Peel away at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Davies started the 2007–08 season at the top of the Scarlets' scrum-half pecking order with Gavin Cattle. The two of them shared duties in the number 9 shirt for the first three months of the season, before Peel's return, but they soon got back into action when Peel joined up with the Wales squad for the 2008 Six Nations.
In June 2008, Davies signed for Brive on a two-year contract.[2] He made his debut on 6 September 2008 in a 16–16 draw with Castres.
On 21 June 2009, Davies signed a three-year contract with the Ospreys.[3]
In January 2010 Davies joined London Welsh on loan.[4] He was released by the Ospreys at the end of the 2009–10 season[5] and joined French club Dax.[6]
