Playing career

In 2016, Davey joined the Mackay Cutters in the Queensland Cup on a train-and-trial deal, later earning a full-time contract with the club. That season, he won the club's Rookie of the Year award.[1] In 2017, he co-captained the Cutters alongside Setaimata Sa.[2]

In 2018, Davey signed with the Townsville Blackhawks.[3] In 2019, Davey joined the Parramatta Eels NRL squad. He spent the season with their New South Wales Cup feeder club, the Wentworthville Magpies, playing in their Grand Final loss to the Newtown Jets.[4][5]

2020

In round 10 of the 2020 NRL season, Davey made his first grade debut for Parramatta against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. In his second NRL appearance, Davey played 51 minutes off the bench replacing Ryan Matterson who was ruled out through HIA in Parramatta's 26-16 win over the Wests Tigers.[6] At 28 years and 233 days old, he became the second-oldest debutant in the NRL era (since 1998) after Darren Nicholls.[7]
