“Since my 22-year playing career ended, I have continued to develop and learn through UEFA A coaching badges and a master’s degree in sporting directorship.
“Football is an unforgiving business but it can create amazing memories like no other. It is also a short career so it is important to maximise talent and prepare for life after football.”
There are thought to be around 1,400 Football League players out of contract this summer and Davies is hoping he will be able to help some of those find new clubs.

With my contacts in football and with the team I have built around me I will endeavour to always put the players interests first and provide a supportive guide through this often challenging industry. Loyalty and trust are hard to find in football.”
