Former Wales Under-21 scrum-half Liam Davies has joined French Top 14 side Dax following his release by the Ospreys at the end of last season.
It will be the 24-year-old's second stint in France, having joined Brive from the Scarlets in 2008.
He was snapped up by the Ospreys in 2009, but struggled to gain game time.
When Mike Phillips and Jamie Nutbrown were injured Ricky Januarie was brought to the region on loan while Davies was loaned out to London Welsh.
