A transfer to either Everton or Middlesbrough never occurred as Davis was injured during the summer and unable to pass a medical to switch clubs, so this kept him at Fulham for the 2003–04 season.
[14] In an exclusive interview with the club, Davis says his attempted move in the summer transfer window resulted fans was questioning his commitment with Fulham.
[17] While arriving at the club short of match fitness, he played an important part in Portsmouth's 2006 survival campaign, including scoring the second goal in their 4–2 win over West Ham United on 18 March 2006.
[18] At the end of the 2005–06 campaign, Davis stated that Portsmouth supporters had yet to see his best form, and expected that after having taken part in a full pre-season, that he would be much more prepared to play a greater role in the coming season.
[25] On 24 February 2012, Davis joined Bristol City on a one-month loan deal[26] and made his debut the day after in their 3–1 home defeat to Blackpool, picking up a booking.
[27] After a 2002–03 campaign in which he firmly established his position in the Fulham starting line up Davis was called up to be part of the England squad that faced Australia, although he did not play.
[28] During his time at Portsmouth, due to influence from teammate Linvoy Primus and the Faith and Football organisation, Davis converted to Christianity.
