| Career Highlights | |
Benjamin Davies (born February 10, 1986) is an Australian rules footballer.
From Williamstown, Davies played in the TAC Cup for the Western U18. His courageous ability as an in-and-under player got his name on the list, and was drafted as a Rookie by Collingwood in late 2004. His skills were ordinary, but Davies earned an unexpected promotion early on in the season for injured skipper Nathan Buckley who would be put on the long-term injury list. He made his AFL debut soon after in Round 7 against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval and showed he was a ball winner, having 14 touches in the first half.
His debut season was good enough for him to be elevated on the senior list from the rookie list for season 2006, where he played mostly in the VFL, managing only 5 senior appearances.
