Keinan Vincent Joseph Davis (born February 13, 1998 in Stevenage ) is an English football player on the position of a striker .

Club career

Via Stevenage and Biggleswade Town to Aston Villa

Keinan Davis was born on February 13, 1998 in Stevenage, where he grew up and attended school. Among other things, he attended The Nobel School and was active as a football player even in his childhood. He spent his club career as a youth at the local club FC Stevenage , where he worked in their academy until 2015 before he was dismissed by Darren Sarll . Dave Northfield, junior coach at the lower-class club Biggleswade Town , brought him into his U-18 team, in which he was used in the following months and acted dangerous. In order to earn money, he also worked in his cousin's barber shop and took college courses. At the club located a few kilometers north of Stevenage, Davis was only used until the end of the year. After Aston Villa scouts became aware of Davis at a game between the Biggleswade Town U-18 team and the Aston Villa youth team, Davis completed a four-week trial session at the club, after which he signed an 18-month contract with him a professional career was promised. Previously, Davis had already played with the idea in the United States to go to there, College Soccer to play. Just a few months after Davis' departure, Northfield left Biggleswade Town and founded the independent club FC Biggleswade based on the said U-18 team with play in the Spartan South Midlands Football League .

Breakthrough into the professional team

Seasons 2015/16 and 2016/17

Initially intended for the club's U-18 team, Davis made his debut in December 2015 in a 2-1 defeat by Stoke City's age colleagues for the U-21 team from Aston Villa, which played in the so-called Premier League 2 , when he as a Striker in the 58th minute for Jordan Cox came on the lawn. At the beginning still under the former England international Gordon Cowans , Davis came to longer assignments for the U-21 team from around mid-April 2016 under the Scot Kevin MacDonald . By the end of the regular season, the young offensive player had made seven league appearances and not only delivered two assists, but also contributed one goal himself. A fourth place in Division 2 of the Professional U21 Development League gave Aston Villa a place in the season-closing play-offs. With two assists in a 2-1 victory over the U-21 team of the Blackburn Rovers in the semifinals, Davis helped his team to move into the decisive final against Arsenal ; however, the game ended in a 3-1 defeat for the Villans. After playing in two U-21 games, Davis sat on February 6, 2016 in a 2-0 home win over Norwich City for the first time in a league game of the professionals on the bench, but was not used by this. In the 6-0 home defeat against Liverpool a week later , the right-footed striker and center forward took his place on the professional team's bench without being used.

However, this changed in the following season, in which he was mostly used as a regular in the reserve team. In Division 2 of the Professional U23 Development League , he was used in 18 league games in which he scored four goals and contributed as many assists. Due to his performance, he was brought into the professional team on January 8, 2017 in the third round match of the FA Cup 2016/17 against Tottenham Hotspur and made his debut for them when he came on for Mile Jedinak in the 77th minute of the game . While he was still without use in the previous season under Rémi Garde , the now coach Steve Bruce used him more regularly as a substitute player. Just a few days after his competitive debut, Davis also played his first game in a professional league when he came on the field again for the Australian Mile Jedinak in the game of the 26th round against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 91st minute . Even after that, the attacking player still played a few minutes in the Championship 2016/17 until the end of the season - Aston Villa had previously been relegated to the second division as the last place in the Premier League 2015/16 . In the final standings, he and his team took 13th place in the table and had a total of almost 60 minutes in six league appearances. With the reserve team, he came in 7th and thus also in the middle of the table.

Seasons 2017/18 and 2018/19

In the following season 2017/18, the offensive player from England's first New Town started with the reserve team, for which he had already scored a goal in the first game of the season. Five days earlier, he had already made a short stint for the professionals in the 2017/18 EFL Cup , for which he was subsequently promoted to the offensive team from the fourth round of the championship and pushed the future Irish international Scott Hogan from his traditional position. In his first game from the start, Davis did the preparatory work for the Villans 1-0 opening goal in his team's 4-2 home win over Norwich City. After that, he mostly alternated as a striker or center forward, with Hogan serving as his substitute for most of the time. This season, Davis' performance in a 3-0 away win over Barnsley FC in round 8, when he was involved in two goals (1 hit, 1 assist), should be highlighted . After he came to his assignments as a regular player until the end of 2017, he had to take his place on the bench again, especially from the beginning of 2018, and let Scott Hogan go first. From mid-March he was no longer a member of the professional squad for the remaining eight championship games and only made occasional appearances in the reserve squad, which took second place in the final ranking in Division 2 of the Professional U23 Development League and again just barely in the final of the Play-offs failed. Nevertheless, by winning the Premier League Cup, he could boast at least one title this season. With the pros, he ranked fourth in the 2017/18 EFL Championship and also made it to the play-offs at the end of the season. Here, too, he narrowly failed with the team in the final with a 0-1 defeat against Fulham . In 28 professional league appearances this season, he had two hits and four assists.

Due to a pubic bone inflammation , Davis missed further parts of the 2018/19 season and only made a provisional comeback at the end of 2018. Davis killed Davis for more than two appearances over a half-time each in the reserve team, as well as a brief appearance with the professionals when he came on the lawn in the 72nd minute of the game for Scott Hogan in the third round loss to Swansea City in the 2018/19 FA Cup not around the turn of the year. With the professionals, he was on the bench in a number of league games between December and February before he was removed from the squad again. Only in the 38th championship round did he make his comeback in the championship after exactly one year, when he was used by Bruce in the 3-0 home win over FC Middlesbrough from the 75th minute as a left winger. By the end of the 2018/19 season, he had four more short appearances in the league and at that time was fifth with the team with 76 points. This was enough to participate in the season-closing play-offs, in which Aston Villa first defeated West Bromwich Albion and then Derby County and thus made it to the Premier League . Davis was used here in a semi-final game against Albion for a few minutes.

From the 2019/20 season

After Preston North End was interested in loaning the long-term injured in June 2019 , it was decided to keep Davis at Aston Villa. In the second league game of the 2019/20 season , a 2-1 home defeat against AFC Bournemouth on August 17, 2019, he made his first division debut when he came on as a replacement for newcomer Trezeguet in the 87th minute . Davis then sat regularly on the bench until the end of October, but was only used irregularly in the country's top division by his coach Dean Smith . He was also used in Aston Villa's three games in the 2019/20 EFL Cup until the end of October 2019 , with Davis scoring a goal in the first game against Crewe Alexandra and preparing for another goal in the second game against Brighton & Hove Albion . He then did not belong to the professional squad for three months and only returned to the professional squad in late January, when Aston Villa won the League Cup semi-final second leg against Leicester City and thus qualified for the final. After he was used in the game mentioned, he came back two days later in the Premier League as a substitute. In the 2019/20 FA Cup , he and his team were eliminated from the competition early in the first game, the four-round game against Fulham FC .

National team career

As a 19-year-old Davis made it into the U-20 national team coached by Keith Downing in the summer of 2017 on the occasion of the U-20 Elite League 2017/18 . In the first game against the Netherlands still on the bench, he completed the full 90 minutes in the second game against his colleagues from Switzerland . Due to his injury-related absence, he missed his team's games in October and November 2017 and was replaced by Ike Ugbo . Downing brought him back into the squad for the games against Poland and Portugal . After scoring the decisive goal in the 87th minute in a 1-0 win over Poland on March 22, 2018, he also contributed a goal in the 3-0 win over Portugal five days later. This was also his last appearance in a national selection of the Football Association .
