[edit] Career

His career started in non-League Football at Ardsley. He then became a part of the 1898/1899 Barnsley squad in their first season in the Football League 2nd Division. His late goal against Luton Town secured the Reds' first ever league win.

In 1899, Davis moved to Sheffield Wednesday where he was part of two League Championship victories in the 1902/1903 & 1903/1904 seasons.

He won three caps for England, all during the Home Nations Championship of 1903. His only international goal came on his debut against Ireland on 14 Feb 1903.
