Liam Davis (footballer, born 1986)

Liam Lloyd Davis (born 23 November 1986) is an English former professional footballer who most recently played for National League club Torquay United.

[2] He made his Coventry debut on 24 September 2005, aged 18, in a Football League Championship clash against Hull City at the Ricoh Arena.

[4][5] Davis then spent the start of the 2006–07 campaign on loan at Football League Two outfit Peterborough United on 14 September 2006.

[8] After playing 7 games, Davis was dropped from the first team[9] and ended his loan spell with Peterborough United and was sidelined with injuries for a long time.

[10] After returning to his parent club, Davis then made his first appearance of the 2006–07 season, starting the whole game, in a 4–1 win over Barnsley on 17 March 2007.

[11] He returned to feature in three first-team matches for Coventry under Iain Dowie at the tail-end of the season[12] and signed a new one-year deal at the club in May 2007.

[14] However, an impressive substitute appearance in a 2–1 in over Ipswich Town in December prompted an extended run in the side, both on the left wing and in an unaccustomed role at left-back.

[15][16] At the end of the 2007/08 season, Davis was told his contract would not be renewed and he was free to find a new club as then manager Chris Coleman did not think he would feature regularly in his plans.

[17] Davis then signed for Football League One side Northampton Town on a two-year contract on 6 June 2008.

[40] Davis then scored his first goal of the season on 26 October 2010, in a 3–1 loss against Ipswich Town in the third round of the League Cup.

[55] By the end of 2011, he went on twenty–four appearances in all competitions despite being sent–off against Cheltenham Town on 26 November 2011, in which he served a two match ban,[56][57] and absent for fitness concern.

[60] It wasn't until on 6 November 2012 when he made his first team return from injury, coming on as a second-half substitute, in a 3–2 loss against Dagenham & Redbridge.

[70] After spending time on trial with Birmingham City,[71] Davis signed for newly promoted Championship side Yeovil Town on a two-year contract.

[88] Following his release from Cheltenham, in June 2017 Davis signed for National League club Torquay United.
