Career

Youth and college

Born in Longueuil, Quebec, Davies attended Collège Français in his hometown. He played for the under-15 and under-16 sides of Ligue de soccer élite du Québec team FC Select South Shore AAA from 2003 to 2005. He spent a year in France in 2006, playing for the under-16 and reserve team of Ligue 2 team Dijon FCO, before playing for the FC Select South Shore AAA under-18 side in 2007.[1]

He signed for the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency on October 10, 2007, playing for them in the USL Premier Development League in 2008 and 2009 season.[1]

Professional

Davies made his debut for the senior Vancouver Whitecaps team in a 4–0 victory over Minnesota Thunder on July 9, 2009.[2]

Vancouver declined its 2012 contract option on Davies on January 20, 2012.[3]

After two seasons with the Richmond Kickers, Davies signed with the Ottawa Fury in their first North American Soccer League season in 2014.[4]

Davies was re-signed by Ottawa for the 2015 season, but would only make 5 appearances after breaking his arm in pre-season. In August 2015, he announced his retirement at the age of 24 and his move to a coaching position with ARS Rive-Sud where he grew up.[5] This was due to his father's battle with cancer and the resulting need to be close to his family.[6] In December 2015 however, Davies signed with local PLSQ club CS Longueuil at the instigation of the club's then-head coach, Mathieu Rufié.[7]

International

Davies is a former Canada under-17 and under-20 member and he played 17 games, scoring four goals for both teams.[8] Davies made his senior team debut on January 26, 2013, in a friendly against Denmark as a second half sub for Terry Dunfield, the game ended as a 4–0 defeat.[9]

Personal life

His father Randolph is former professional Canadian baseball player who was born in Montreal, Quebec, and his mother was born in Saint-Jean d’Iberville, Quebec. Davies played hockey and soccer in his childhood.[1]
