Having progressed through Everton's academy, Davies was rewarded with his first professional contract on 30 September 2015.[2] He was handed his Premier League debut by manager Roberto Martínez on 16 April 2016 in a 1–1 draw with Southampton at Goodison Park, entering the field of play as an 83rd-minute substitute for Darron Gibson.[3] On the final day of the Premier League season, following the sacking of Martínez, Davies was handed his first start for Everton by interim manager David Unsworth in a 3–0 win over Norwich.[4] His performance over the course of the 90 minutes earned him the man of the match award.[5]
On 3 August 2016, Davies penned a new five-year contract with Everton, tying him to the club until 2021.[6]
International career
On 7 October 2015, Davies was invited by England manager Roy Hodgson to train with the senior squad following his progression with the under-17 side.[7] Just seven days later he was named captain of the England under-17 team for the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup which took place in Chile.[8]
