The 29-year-old from Caldicot is currently on the hunt for a new challenge after the end of his time with the Rodney Parade club. Davies made 137 appearances for the Dragons yet it was one occasion that he didn’t make the 23-man squad that proved to be so important. The lock was part of Lyn Jones’ travelling party in Galway, getting some experience of an away game after playing in the Anglo-Welsh Cup the previous season.

TRIP: County will take on Worcester City at Sixways (Image: PA) NEWPORT County AFC will make the short trip to Worcester City for a pre-season friendly. The Exiles will travel to Sixways Stadium on Saturday, July 12 (kick-off 3pm) to take on opponents from Southern League Premier Central. The game in the West Midlands, at a ground more associated with the reborn rugby union side Worcester Warriors, is another on a plastic pitch.

The summer transfer window opened on Sunday but the Exiles are currently unable to get potential deals rubber stamped. County were placed on the FIFA Registration Ban list last Friday and that means that the final step in retention and recruitment cannot take place. “This list includes clubs that are temporarily prohibited from registering new players due to various infractions, such as financial disputes or regulatory breaches,” state FIFA.

The 24-year-old was a high-profile recruit from the Waratahs last summer but failed to settle at Rodney Parade in a struggling side. Wilson, son of former World Cup winner David, only showed glimpses of his potential and made just 12 appearances, five of them starts. The 6ft 3ins Aussie and the Dragons have agreed to cut their losses with a year still to run on his contract and he has returned Down Under.

The 30-year-old will head to Rodney Parade from Italy on a two-year contract and is the ninth confirmed signing of an extensive rebuild after a nightmare season. Paea has long been on the radar of Filo Tiatia and the head coach name-checked the former Crusaders and Highlanders back as a dangerman ahead of February’s United Rugby Championship clash in Parma.

Filo Tiatia wanted his Dragons team to fight until the final whistle in Cape Town. Sadly, as has happened so often this season, weary legs led to a flurry of late tries. 48-12 defeat to a Stormers side who frankly weren't that great. https://t.co/gSz9Ajv13A
Nothing particular fresh about this take but the loss of Ford (twice) has been a huge blow to Tigers. A wonderful player. Pollard not bad, mind.
County vow to confirm their new boss within a fortnight, with David Hughes the name on plenty of lips. They'll be in charge of a completely new-look management team after Daf Williams left for a new challenge and Rob Thomas' stay was short. https://t.co/VN5PbwBHin
