Davis missed the end of the 2008 and the beginning of the 2009 seasons due to a shoulder injury. He played for
North Adelaide in the
South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and was close to selection by Adelaide towards the end of the 2009 season, being named as an emergency numerous times. Davis made his AFL debut for Adelaide in Round 4, 2010 against Carlton at
AAMI Stadium; he had 16 possessions and seven marks. Davis was nominated for the
2010 Rising Star in round 16 for his performance against Cameron Mooney. In August 2011, Davis became the first player to announce that he would be moving to the new
Greater Western Sydney club in 2012. This led Adelaide football manager Phil Harper to say the club was "bloody disappointed" to lose such a young player who was taken with a high draft pick in the
2008 AFL draft. On 14 February 2012, Davis was named as one of three inaugural Co-Captains of the GWS Giants, alongside former Brisbane Lions veteran
Luke Power and Western Bulldogs import
Callan Ward. On 21 August 2023, Davis announced his immediate retirement from the AFL, having played just five games since the start of the
2022 season and none in
2023. ==Statistics==
