biography

Davies was born in the capital, Monrovia , during the Liberian Civil War . His family subsequently fled to the capital Freetown of neighboring Sierra Leone . His father was killed in the civil war raging there . With some family members, including his older sister, he fled to neighboring Guinea , where he grew up in a refugee camp . At the age of eleven he was granted asylum with his grandmother and two siblings in Australia and lived there in financially precarious circumstances in Tuart Hill , a suburb of the Western Australian metropolis of Perth . Davies' footballing talent quickly caught on and was soon promoted. In 2007 he was a member of the U-17 national team of Western Australia at the National Talent Identification Championships and the National Youth Championship as a player for the Dianella White Eagles . In January 2008 an invitation to a training camp for the Australian U-17 team at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra and a scholarship at the National Training Center of the Western Australian Association under coach Kenny Lowe followed .

In 2009 Davies got the opportunity to audition for the German record champions FC Bayern Munich and got a long-term contract for the youth sector. He then moved to Munich with his sister, who also acted as his guardian . Davies was a member of the U-17 squad at FC Bayern, where he trained with Stephan Beckenbauer and Hermann Gerland, among others . In the U-17 Bundesliga season 2010/11 , he scored nine goals in 19 missions for Bayern's youngsters, but was only irregularly part of the team. In the summer of 2011, his membership in the youth division of FC Bayern ended and he switched to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim , but his hope of making it to the professional squad was not fulfilled. After five appearances in the U-19 Bundesliga , he finally left Germany at the end of 2011, where he had never felt particularly comfortable, especially because of the climate.

After a trial session in Japan at FC Tokyo , Davies returned to Australia in early 2012 and trained with the Melbourne Victory team at the invitation of assistant coach Kevin Muscat . After he had trained at Melbourne since January 2012, it took until March before his eligibility to play was received. He signed a contract for the rest of the season for the youth team, but was immediately called up by coach Jim Magilton for the following game against Wellington Phoenix and came on as a substitute for his A-League in the 3-0 win in the 80th minute -Debut. After he was in the following season under coach Ange Postecoglou until January 2013 without a competitive game, he dissolved his contract with Victory and moved to league rivals Brisbane Roar . There he came to two short assignments shortly after his move , he stayed without a league assignment for the entire 2013/14 season and his contract was finally terminated in July 2014.

Davies spent the preparation for the 2014/15 season with Romanian first division club Oțelul Galați , but there was no commitment.

Stateless person at FIFA

Davies received an Australian passport a few months after entering Australia and has only been an Australian citizen since then. In 2008, however, FIFA introduced new rules for national team eligibility , which were particularly intended to prevent underage African young footballers from being specifically recruited by other football associations, a procedure practiced in particular by the Qatari Football Association. The rule that a player is only eligible to play internationally if he has lived in the country in question for five years without interruption meant that Davies, although he was with the Australian U-17 in August 2008 at the Obi Cup in Hilden , Germany and had participated in the Nike International Friendlies in Los Angeles in December , was not eligible to play competitive games from FIFA. Even an objection from the Australian Association could not change that. As a result, Davies was not eligible to play in the U-16 Asian Cup in 2008, despite his previous nomination .

With his move to Germany and the associated change of residence after four and a half years in Australia, the FIFA count was reset to zero. According to current FIFA rules Davies would be the earliest in 2017 to play for Australia, the Australian Association has already announced that Davies should come back for a country selection in question to be re representations to FIFA and in case of negative communication even before the Court of Arbitration for Sport draw to want.
