Rising quickly through the ranks, the Canadian left-back has proven to be one of the best players in his position over the last three seasons.

Davis has seen a meteoric rise to the top ever since his National team debut in 2017. However, it wasn’t all that easy in the beginning. Recently, he revealed that back in the day, there was a time when McDonald’s rejected his job application.

Davies played his first match for Edmonton, Canada after leaving his home to develop as a footballer.
