Club career

edit

Middlesbrough

edit

Davies was born in Stockton-on-Tees and attended Northfield School in Billingham, near Middlesbrough. He joined Middlesbrough as a thirteen-year-old, moving up the club ranks as a member of the reserve side. Davies turned professional in October 2002 after impressing in the under-19s and as captain of the reserve team.[1][2] He made his debut on 6 November 2002, in a League Cup defeat against Ipswich Town. His Premier League debut came three months later, in a 5–2 defeat at home to Aston Villa.

He made nine further appearances during the 2003–04 season before suffering a broken leg in a reserve league game in March 2004.[3] Despite this, Davies was named 2003–04 Middlesbrough Players' Young Player of the Year.[4] He made his first team return from injury against Coventry City in the League Cup on 27 October 2004.[5]

He made two appearances in the first half of the 2004–05 season before joining Queens Park Rangers on an initial one month's loan in January to gain some first team experience, eventually remaining there for three months.[6] Davies initially turned down a permanent move to the club.[7] Following an injury crisis, he was recalled by Middlesbrough in April 2005.[8]

In July 2005, Davies was loaned out again, to Derby County until the end of the 2005–06 season with the deal including a clause that allowed him to be recalled by his parent club in January. This was initially for a period of six months, although it was later extended to a full season's loan.[9] Davies made his Derby County debut in the opening game of the season, playing the full 90 minutes, in a 1–1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.[10] His first goal came on 18 September 2005, in a 2–2 draw against Southampton.[11] Three months later on 3 December 2005, Davies scored twice, in a 2–0 win over Norwich City.[12] In January 2006, an injury crisis at Middlesbrough prompted them to recall Davies, who had generally impressed during his time at Derby, despite being sent off on three occasions.[13]

On his return to the Riverside Stadium, Davies played a significant role in Middlesbrough's journey to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and final of the UEFA Cup. With Gareth Southgate committing to youth in 2006–07, Davies found his way into the first team and made 23 appearances in all.

Southampton

edit

Davies signed for Southampton on 9 October 2007, on an initial three-month loan with a view to a permanent transfer in January.[14] It took until 3 November 2007 for Davies to make his Southampton debut, coming on as a substitute for Grégory Vignal in the 72nd minute, in a 1–0 loss against Charlton Athletic.[15]

On 10 January 2008, the signing was made permanent, for an undisclosed fee,[16] believed to be £1 million.[17] He missed the last few matches of the 2007–08 season as a result of a fractured cheek bone incurred in March 2008.[18] Despite only playing for half a season, he was voted the Saints Player of the Season.[19]

Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Davies said he was close to making a return to full first team training and was expecting to return in three to four weeks.[20]

Stoke City

edit

In August 2008, Davies joined Stoke City on a four-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Southampton was reported as £1.3 million.[21]

Davies' start at Stoke did not go as planned after suffering a knee injury in training, resulting in him requiring an operation.[22] In late-November, he was close to making a first team return and played in the reserve side.[23] He did not feature for the first team until the beginning of December 2008, when he made several appearances on the bench with his first being an away game against Newcastle United.[24] Davies made his Stoke debut against Manchester United, coming on as a substitute for Rory Delap in the 72nd minute on Boxing Day 2008, playing at right back after Andy Wilkinson had been sent off for a second bookable offence.[25] He made another substitute appearance on 28 December 2008, against West Ham.[26] Davies made his first start against Hartlepool United in the FA Cup third Round which ended in a shock 2–0 victory for the League One side.[27] During the match, he sustained an injury in the 71st minute when he fell into the Hartlepool dugout. Davies then played no further part in Stoke's 2008–09 campaign.

On 13 February 2009, Davies signed for Preston North End on a one-month emergency loan.[28] He made his debut the next day, playing 90 minutes, in a 1–0 win over Norwich City.[29] After making five appearances for Preston, Davies returned to his parent club.[citation needed]

Having failed to make the bench for Stoke at the start of the 2009–10 season, Davies joined Sheffield United on a three-month loan in September 2009.[30] On the same day, he made his debut, in the Steel City derby, playing 90 minutes, in a 3–2 win over Sheffield Wednesday.[31] With his loan expiring in December, Davies returned to Stoke having played eight times for "The Blades".[32]

After being left out of Stoke's 25-man squad for the 2010–11 season, Davies joined Walsall for an initial month's loan on 6 October 2010.[33] He made his Walsall debut three days after signing for the club, in a 2–-1 win over Exeter City.[34] However, Davies suffered a thigh injury during a match against Tranmere Rovers and had his loan spell with Walsall, which was originally going to end on 7 November 2010, cut short.[35]

On 18 February, he re-joined Middlesbrough on loan for the rest of the 2010–11 season[36] and made his debut against in a 3–2 victory at Millwall the same day.[37] After making six appearances for the club, he was allowed to return to Stoke having struggled with injuries.[38]

Davies signed for Bradford City on a three-month loan on 23 September 2011.[43][44] In October 2011, he was sent off in consecutive games, against Torquay United[45] and Swindon Town.[46] Having served a three-game suspension for the first red card,[47] he received a four-match ban for the red card against Swindon, due to it being his second of the season.[48] In December 2011, Davies agreed to extend his loan until the end of the season.[49] He scored his first goal for the club with a curling free kick on 21 January 2012, in a 1–1 draw at home to Burton Albion.[50] He appeared to score his second goal for the club against Bristol Rovers; however, the goal was eventually credited to teammate David Syers.[51] His second goal of 2012 came in the 5th minute of injury time against Port Vale in a 1–1 draw on 14 February.[52] Davies was sent off for a third time in the 2011–12 season following a post-match brawl against Crawley Town[53] and received a five match ban.[54]

On 8 June 2013, Davies signed a new two-year deal with Bradford with the option of a third year.[69] He continued to be in the first team for the first ten matches before it was announced on 11 October 2013, that he would be out for up to four months with injury, after undergoing knee surgery.[70] Davies then made his first team return on 28 January 2014, making his first start, in a 0–0 draw against Preston North End.[71] However, Davies suffered a calf problem during a match against Stevenage on 1 March 2014 and was substituted after 36 minutes,[72][73] although manager Phil Parkinson believed the injury was not serious.[74] Despite Davies initially being expected to return against Brentford in March 2015,[75] he was not included in the squad, with Parkinson citing his fitness as the reason.[76] Davies eventually made his first team return on 11 March 2014, in a 2–0 win over Colchester United.[77] Two weeks later, on 22 March 2014, he scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–1 loss against Shrewsbury Town.[78] Davies later helped the club survive in League One in their first season, finishing in eleventh place.
