Welsh club consider stunning move to bring Wales star home ahead of World Cup

Wales fly-half Sam Davies is on the radar of Welsh club the Dragons as they weigh a potential return for the 2027/28 season. The 32-year-old is in his fourth year with Grenoble in France and is aiming to help the French side finally reach the Top 14 after consecutive near-misses in Pro D2. Davies previously played for Newport after seven years with the Ospreys, and he featured for the Dragons from 2019 to 2023. A long-standing eight-cap Wales international, Davies won player of the season in his first Pro D2 campaign with Grenoble. The story notes he signed an extension last year, keeping him in France until summer 2028, though an early release could be possible. Injury struck last season after a staph infection wiped out much of his campaign, reaching his bone and leaving him unable to walk for days. The Dragons already have Tinus de Beer as first-choice at fly-half, with Angus O’Brien, Cai Evans and Jac Lloyd also contracted. A homecoming could strengthen his case for a Test recall before the World Cup in Australia next year, his last cap coming on the 2017 summer tour.
