Club career

[edit]

Davies signed for Cardiff City at the age of 7.[4] He signed his first professional contract in February 2021, alongside Rubin Colwill.[5][6] He made his first-team debut for Cardiff City on 23 October 2021 against Middlesbrough.[7] He assisted Kieffer Moore in Cardiff City's 2–1 win over Huddersfield Town on 6 November 2021.[8] Davies scored his first senior goal on 9 January 2022, scoring the first in Cardiff's 2–1 FA Cup victory over Preston North End.[9] He signed a further contract in March 2022.[2]

In August 2023 he signed on loan for Belgian club Kortrijk.[10][11] He signed a new contract with Cardiff in March 2024,[12] following a "successful" loan spell in Belgium, where he was Kortrijk's Player of the Season.[13]

Ahead of the 2024–25 season, Cardiff manager Erol Bulut said that Davies would be an "active" player for the club,[14] but Davies suffered a hamstring injury in pre-season, being ruled out for an estimated 4 months.[15]

International career
