He was selected by the Carlton Football Club in the 2009 AFL National draft with its third round selection (#43 overall).[3] Davies has played both midfield and defense during his junior career.

In his first two seasons with the club, Davies played 13 games for Carlton, and spent the rest of the time with Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants. He played only four games in the next two years, was delisted at the conclusion of the 2013 season.[4]
