Dragons RFC are pleased to announce the signing of Wales international second row Seb Davies ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Davies – who can also play at flanker and Number Eight – will make the move from Cardiff Rugby this summer to bolster a new-look forward pack at Rodney Parade.
The 28-year-old lock becomes the club’s eighth new signing, alongside Tinus de Beer, Thomas Young, Wyn Jones, Dillon Lewis, Fine Inisi, Levi Douglas and Harry Beddall.
Head Coach Filo Tiatia said: “We’re really pleased to be able to bring Seb into our environment and excited by what he’ll bring to our squad.
“Seb brings a vast amount of playing experience, having also featured at international level, and is a powerful second row who has real versatility to his game.
“His best rugby years are ahead of him, and I know he is very motivated to make an impact at our club in the seasons to come.”
Davies made his professional debut for Cardiff during the 2014/15 season and made his 150th appearance for the club earlier this season.
He has won 17 caps for his country to date, having made his debut against Tonga in 2017. Davies said:
“I’m excited about the move as the future looks bright for Dragons. The club has made plenty of positive signings and have a great hardworking core group already there.
“I’m also excited about playing for the loyal fans at Rodney Parade. The atmosphere is always brilliant when I’ve played there in the past and I look forward to now having their support right behind me.”
Forwards Coach Sam Hobbs added: “I’m excited to bring a player of Seb’s quality into our squad for next season.
“Approaching the prime of his career, Seb is vastly experienced in the BKT United Rugby Championship and has international experience with Wales.
“Seb possesses a real athletic point of difference with his ability to line break and offload in attack, along with being an excellent lineout athlete with impressive speed into the air.
“I’m looking forward to Seb bringing his edge to our forward pack next season, competing with a strong second row group, and also passing his knowledge on to exciting young prospects like Nick Thomas and Barny Langton-Cryer.”
