Perspective
Wrexham
Following impressive displays within the Wrexham academy, Davies joined Cymru Premier side Bangor on a short-term loan the day after his 18th birthday.[2] Davies made 14 appearances in four months at Bangor with his performances leading to comparisons with Gareth Bale by former Wales international Andy Legg.[3] Following the conclusion of the loan, Bangor made an offer to sign Davies on a permanent basis. However, this offer was rejected by Wrexham.[4]
Brighton & Hove Albion
Championship leaders Brighton & Hove Albion signed him to a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee shortly after his return to Wrexham.[5] Davies was selected and scored his first professional goal in the EFL Trophy victory over Peterborough United in October 2018.[6] On 10 June 2020, Davies was released by the club.[7]
Return to Wrexham
Following his release by Brighton at the conclusion of the 2019–20 Premier League season, Davies re-signed with Wrexham on a two-year contract.[8] In his first season back at the Racecourse, Davies played a central role as Wrexham narrowly missed out on the National League play-offs the final day of the season. This season included Davies scoring the first hattrick of his professional career in the April win over Halifax Town.[9]
On 1 January 2022, Davies signed a three-and-a-half-year extension with Wrexham.[10]
Grimsby Town (loan)
In August 2024, Davies joined EFL League Two team Grimsby Town on loan until the end of the season.[11] He has been assigned squad number 7 for the 2024–25 season[12] He made his first appearance for the club off the bench in Grimsby's first league match away to Fleetwood Town.[13] Davies scored his first two goals for the club in the 3-2 league victory over Cheltenham Town on 17 August 2024.
