Scarlets have confirmed they would be interested in signing Leigh Halfpenny if the Wales full-back wants to return from France.

Halfpenny's contract with European champions Toulon finishes at the end of the season.

He has the option of extending his stay in southern France for another year but should he opt to return home, Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac said he would be a target.

"He's no different to anyone else. If he is serious about returning we'd be interested to talk to him," Pivac told WalesOnline.

"We don't have an endless budget, but I've said it earlier and nothing has changed.

"If there's any returning Welsh players we'd like to have the opportunity to talk to them just to check what's going on in the market-place and find out their value."
