[edit] Career
[edit] Professional
Davies was a member of the US National U-17 Residency in Bradenton, FL and was expected to go play in college before entering the MLS SuperDraft. However, he was offered a contract with English side Southampton, who he joined in February 2007. Work permit issues weren't a problem due to having British parents.[1] He was a consistent member of the youth and reserve setup at Southampton but never made a first-team appearance.
Nearing the end of his contract with Southampton, he was approached by MLS who signed him to a 4-year deal before entering him in to a weighted lottery that would allocate him to a single participating MLS club. Real Salt Lake were the winners of the lottery and immediately signed him to their roster.[2] On April 28, Davies was traded to FC Dallas for a second round draft pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft so RSL could have the room to re-sign Fabián Espíndola.[3] He made his debut for Dallas on June 13, 2009, in a game against Houston Dynamo.[4]
Davies was waived by Dallas on May 5, 2011[5] and was picked up by Los Angeles Galaxy on May 11, 2011.[6]
Davies was traded to Toronto FC on September 15, 2011 for Dasan Robinson.[7] Davies made his debut as a second half sub for Doneil Henry on October 15 against Philadelphia Union, the game ended in a 1-1 away draw.[8]
Davies was waived by Toronto on November 23, 2011.[9]
[edit] International
Davies was a captain for the United States Under-20 team during the 2009 CONCACAF Under-20 Championship, starting all five games for the United States in the tournament.[10][11] The team qualified for the 2009 FIFA Under-20 World Cup taking place in Egypt,[10] where Davies captained the team in the first and last games. He saw limited playing time, however, due to a head injury.[11]
