Youl Mawene with real competition for centre half positions and made 38 appearances for Preston, including the Championship play-off final where Preston lost to West Ham. In the 2005–06 season, Davis established himself as the mainstay of the Preston defence, contributing to 24 clean sheets and swept the board at the club's
Player of the Season awards, named both the Player's Player and fans Player of the Season, as Preston reached the play-offs again.

Sheffield United for a club record £3 million, with up to £500,000 to follow based on his appearances for
the Blades. However, he missed the start of the
Premier League season after sustaining a knee
