College and Amateur
Davis joined Harbour View aged 12, and a year later was awarded a summer scholarship with Spanish club Valencia following his performances at the Nexter Generation Valencia CF Easter Football Camp in Jamaica. He had a two year orientation with the European club, and it was there he was converted from a forward into a midfielder.
He represented Harbour View in both Junior and Premier Leagues, as well as the Manning Cup at St. George's College during high school. However, he was forced to miss the entire 2014 season due to injury.
He also played for Caxton College and Sagunto FC during his youth career. Davis had a month-long trial with Toronto FC in July 2014, and was subsequently offered a place in the youth development programme.
