Davies, who founded the Neath-based Championship One club four years ago following the decision of the old Celtic Crusaders to move north to Wrexham, has relinquished control of the club due to work and personal commitments.
Chris Thair, chief operating officer of Wales Rugby League, said: “We have known for some time of Phil’s wish to step down and, following Friday’s WRL board meeting, it was unanimously agreed that the national governing body would run the club in 2014.
“The RFL have been notified of our intentions and, whilst we recognise there are still a number of formalities to go through before we are officially running a club in Championship One, with the season beginning in March it is in everyone’s interest that this happens.
“The WRL board wish to thank Phil Davies for his time, energy and investment into the sport in Wales and he leaves a legacy of having given many young welsh players their first opportunity as a semi-professional rugby league player.
“We now wish to engage with as many people as possible who can support this new venture and should anyone feel they have something to offer then we would be delighted to hear from them.”
