Jamie Roberts, the 97-cap Wales and British and Irish Lions centre, is reportedly set to return to Welsh regional rugby for the first time in seven years.
The 33-year-old, who toured with the 2009 and 2013, is a free agent after his  five-month deal with Super Rugby franchise the Stormers came to an end.
Considering that Roberts spent his first six years as a professional in one place, Cardiff Blues, the list of locations he has ticked off since leaving the Welsh capital in 2013 have been enviable.

Paris, London and Bath have been his homes over the past seven years.
However, Roberts is now reportedly close to a return to Wales and is in advanced talks with the Dragons, where he could form a deadly centre partnership with Nick Tompkins, who joined the region on a one-year lan from Saracens.
He returned from South Africa to Wales in April amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Roberts won the last of 94 Wales caps in November 2017 and remains available for Test selection.
