Davies has agreed a National Dual Contract with his former club Scarlets and the Welsh Rugby Union (RFU) and is looking forward to returning to the Pro12 club where he made his name.
The British and Irish Lion, 27, left for France in 2014 and will return for the 2016-17 season.
“Warren is happy in Wales and as far as I am concerned he isn’t going anywhere”.
Last week Ospreys players Scott Baldwin, James King, Dan Baker and Rory Thornton were added to the previous list of 12 NDCs, which included the likes of national team captain Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones and Dan Biggar.
The WRU tweeted: “Welcome home Jon!”
WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips said: “We are delighted to have been able to bring a player of Jon’s quality home to Wales from France to play for Scarlets”. Now they must decide whether to make an official approach to the WRU, who have indicated to Standard Sport they are desperate to keep their hugely successful head coach and his assistants in place.
Davies was part of the Clermont side that lost to Toulon in the 2015 European Champions Cup final at Twickenham.
He is also excited about the talented youngsters, like Hallam Amos, Tyler and Matthew Morgan, Nicky Smith and Rob Evans, coming through the system and the introduction of National Dual Contracts in a partnership between the WRU and the Welsh regions.

“It’s good to have players like Jonathan Davies playing within Wales, no shadow of a doubt”, said Hadley.
