Background

Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Davis is of Indigenous Australian descent.[2] He played his junior rugby league for the Hinchinbrook Hornets[3] and Mount Pritchard Mounties, before being signed by the Parramatta Eels.

Playing career

Early career

In September and November 2013, Davis played for the Australian Schoolboys.[4] In 2014 and 2015, he played for the Parramatta Eels' NYC team.[5]

2016

In 2016, Davis joined the Gold Coast Titans.[6] In round 1 of the 2016 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Titans against the Newcastle Knights.[7][8]

2017

In March, Davis rejoined the Eels after gaining a release from his Titans contract.[9] Parramatta exercised an option to extend Davis until the end of the 2018 season.[10] He made his debut for Parramatta against the North Queensland Cowboys in Darwin on 10 June 2017.[11][12]. Davis made no further appearances for Parramatta in The 2017 season and spent the rest of the year with Wentworthville in The Intrust Super Premiership NSW competition[13].

2018

In 2018, Davis spent the entire season with the Wentworthville Magpies after being unable to break into the Parramatta first grade team.[14] On September 15, it was alleged that Davis had tested positive to cocaine after Parramatta conducted a routine drugs test.[15] On 25 September, Davis was handed a fine and 12 match suspension by the NRL after being found guilty for testing positive to cocaine which was the second time the player had failed a drugs test. Parramatta then released a statement afterward saying that a new contract would not be offered to Davis and he would be released.[16]
