In September 2014, he was forced to retire from all forms of cricket after failing to recover from a shoulder injury picked up in a pre-season fixture.
"[3] He rarely played in 2006, as recurring back problems left him in a "body brace" for three months,[3] but made a comeback in 2007, including a one-month spell on loan to Nottinghamshire, playing one first-class game.
In the 2008 season, he played regularly for Durham in the early season and, returning to the side after two months on the sidelines in August 2008 after Steve Harmison was called up for England, Davies took career-best figures of 8–24 versus Hampshire, at Basingstoke as Hampshire were dismissed for just 96.
[6] 2013 was a different proposition altogether for Davies as he found himself left out for much of Kent's season.
[8] His brother, Andrew, is a professional footballer who has played for clubs such as Middlesbrough, Bradford City and Ross County FC.
