Arron Rhys Davies (born 22 June 1984 in Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh footballer, currently playing as a midfielder for Football League Championship side Nottingham Forest.
[edit] Playing career[edit] SouthamptonDavies was raised in Llantwit Major, where he attended Llantwit Major Comprehensive School. He joined Southampton's Centre of Excellence at Bath [1] before moving up to the Academy. He made his first appearance for the reserves in September 2001 and became a regular for the Saints reserves in the 2002-03 season after moving from the wing to a striking role. In March/April 2003 he scored 4 times in 5 reserve games, which brought him to the attention of first team manager Gordon Strachan who named Davies in his initial 20 man squad for the 2003 FA Cup final although he failed to make the bench. He also travelled to Bucharest for Saints' UEFA Cup tie. Although seemingly on the verge of breaking into the senior team, Davies never made a first team appearance for Southampton. In February 2004 he went on loan to League One side Barnsley where he made four appearances, although never being on the winning side. Following the arrival of Harry Redknapp as Southampton manager in December 2004, Davies was released.[2] [edit] Yeovil TownOn 16 December 2004, he moved to Yeovil Town on a free transfer. After a solid first season with the Glovers, Davies blossomed during 2005-06, scoring 8 league goals. On 4 March 2006, he scored a hat-trick at Chesterfield.[3] In 2006-07 Davies scored 6 league goals. On 18 May 2007, he scored twice in Yeovil's 5-2 Football League One play-off semi-final win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground helping Yeovil to a 5-4 aggregate win.[4] [edit] Nottingham ForestIn a combined £1.2m deal with team-mate Chris Cohen, Davies moved to another League One side, Nottingham Forest, on 6 July 2007, signing a 3 year contract.[5]. He has missed the start of the 2007-08 campaign due to injury but finally made his debut by coming off the bench in Forest's 0-0 draw against Oldham. He scored his first goal for the club in the 2-0 win against Crewe Alexandra, but a couple of injuries saw him move down the pecking order and failed to make any real impact for The Reds, scoring just once in nineteen appearances. He did, however, help Forest gain promotion to the Championship. The 2008-2009 season has been ruined by injury limiting him to just 12 league appearances all season. Davies was released by Forest on the 10th of December. [edit] Loan spell at BrightonOn 1 September, 2009, Davies signed a loan deal with League One side Brighton & Hove Albion until 31 December, 2009. [6] However, after only 7 appearances, Brighton terminated his loan spell on 2 December, 2009 and Davies returned to Nottingham Forest. [7] [edit] WalesDavies has represented his country at all levels including captaining Wales at under-21 level. He earned his first senior international cap for Wales, coming off the bench in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago shortly before the 2006 FIFA World Cup. [edit] Honours
