Olympic silver medallist David Davies has announced that he is to switch his Olympic preparation to Wales in his bid for glory in London.
The Barry-born athlete moved to Loughborough in 2007 and has now decided to return to the City of Cardiff, a club that took him from the ages of 7 to 22. Davies will now rejoin his childhood coach Dave Haller.
“I have found this year tough in terms of my performance both in competitions and in training and I knew that I needed to make a change,” Davies said.
