Davies came through the Scarlets academy ranks and featured for the Llanelli semi-professional side before making his debut against Dragons at Rodney Parade in 2009.
“Seventeen seasons sounds quite a lot, but the years have flown,” said Davies.
“I was probably a bit looser back then, but you soon learn what is required to be a professional rugby player.”
Davies is now the oldest player in the Scarlets squad following the departures of Owens and centre Jonathan Davies.
“When I was younger there were a few more experienced boys in the squad and I remember thinking if anybody was early 30s they were old! I hope some of the younger boys in the squad now don’t think that about me,” said Davies.
“I have looked after myself. The older you get, the more you focus on recovery – you look after your body and your body will look after you.
“I have always considered myself a good professional and I suppose that is why I am still here playing pretty well at the age of 34.
“I just want to keep playing as long as I can. I am the oldest in the squad now but still feel like I am in my late 20s. I keep myself fit and strong, I still feel good.”
