[4] Davies was born in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, but first played professional football for Cardiff City, after joining the club from non-league side Oldswinford Town.
League sides made various approaches to sign the centre forward (including Cardiff City, Walsall and Wolves) but Davies remained with the Conference side though 656 games, scoring 307 goals,[7] and becoming the Conference all-time top goal-scorer.
With fellow strikers Kim Casey and Mick Tuohy, Davies had arguably his best spell in 1985–87 when the Harriers scored 99 goals in one season, with Davies scoring both goals in Kidderminster's 2–1 FA Trophy Final success against Burton Albion.
He finally left Harriers in 1999 to join Graham Allner as assistant at Worcester City.
[citation needed] Davies was manager of Southern League Division One (Midlands) side Stourport Swifts for a few months in 2007[8][9] He is currently assistant coach at Bewdley Town FC.
