Davidson made his first grade début for the
South Sydney Rabbitohs in 1985. At the end of the
1986 NSWRL season, he became the first South Sydney player in over a decade to be selected for Australia when he went on the
1986 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France. He played five
State of Origin matches for
New South Wales and was named
Man of the match in Game 1, 1987. Davidson was a member of the New South Wales Origin squad which played
Queensland at Veterans Stadium,
Long Beach, California on 6 August 1987. Davidson also represented
Australia in a number of Test Matches. He is listed on the
Australian Players Register as Kangaroo No. 577. In the Australian off-season of 1988 and 1989, Davidson had two stints in England playing for the
Warrington Wolves and
Wigan Warriors. After very nearly joining the
Brisbane Broncos, Davidson signed with Cronulla-Sutherland. He made 133 appearances in first grade for the Sharks, adding hardened representative experience to the Cronulla pack during the 1990s, and he became a Sharks favourite. ==References==
