FORMER Wales, British and Irish Lions and Scarlets centre Jonathan Davies has announced his retirement from professional rugby.

The 36-year-old, who won 96 caps for Wales, left Scarlets at the end of the 2023-24 season having scored 55 tries in 209 appearances across two spells for the Welsh region.

“After taking time away from the game following the end of my last season with the Scarlets, I have come to the decision to call time on my professional rugby career,” Davies wrote on Instagram.
