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 Parramatta club after gaining a release from his Gold Coast 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 24 September 2018, Davis was handed a 12-week suspension by the NRL and fined by Parramatta after testing positive to "illicit and hazardous drugs". It was the second time that Davis had failed a drugs test at the club. Davis was released by the club following the conclusion of the season.[15][16][17]
