Little is recorded of Davies, though it is known that he began his rugby career with Barry RFC, his hometown club and the origin of his nickname.
Like Nicholls, Davies was noticed by major Welsh club Cardiff RFC joining them before the turn of the century.
Played at the Cardiff Arms Park against Scotland, the team, and the pack in particular saw a massive overhaul after a humiliating loss to England three weeks earlier.
Davies was one of five new players brought into the eight man pack, and was joined by two Cardiff team mates in the backs, Nicholls and Selwyn Biggs.
Despite being part of the winning team, Wales beating Scotland 6-0, Davies was replaced for the last game of the tournament by Fred Miller.
