On 29 December 2017, Davis became Senior First Team coach following the resignation of Eric Black the previous week until parting ways with Southampton in 2022.
[3] Davis was born in Bedford, Bedfordshire and started his career as a trainee with Luton Town, turning professional in July 1994.
His form during the season earned him a place of the 2004–05 PFA Championship Team of the Year,[6] whilst also helping steer Ipswich to third in the table.
In an attempt to rebuild his career after his difficult spell at Sunderland, Davis joined Southampton in July 2006 for a fee reported to be around £2 million.
At Southampton, he was first choice goalkeeper for most of the 2006–07 season until a three-match ban relegated him to the bench where he remained after the return of Bartosz Białkowski.
[citation needed] On 23 November 2010, he saved a Chris Wood penalty in a 0–0 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
[13] On 3 March 2012, Kelvin Davis put in a superb performance between the sticks against a rampant Leeds United to help secure a clean sheet, and one-nil win, for Southampton against the Yorkshire club at Elland Road.
[citation needed] He saved a David Silva penalty on the opening day of the 2012–13 season against Manchester City, but this could not help the club from being beaten 3–2.
[20] On 13 July 2016, Davis was appointed as Football Development Executive at Southampton to provide support to the players in the first team.
