Arron Rhys Davies (born 22 June 1984 in Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh international footballer who plays as a midfielder for Accrington Stanley.
Davies was brought up in Llantwit Major, where he attended Llantwit Major Comprehensive School.
Davies joined Southampton's Centre of Excellence at Bath 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. Between March and April 2003 he scored 4 times in 5 reserve games, which brought him to the attention of first team manager Gordon Strachan. Strachan named Davies in his initial 20-man squad for the 2003 FA Cup final, however he failed to make the bench. Davies also traveled 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 Second Division side Barnsley. On 14 February 2004 he made his debut for Barnsley in a 1–0 loss against Wrexham.
Davies was released by Southampton following the arrival of new manager Harry Redknapp in December 2004.
On 16 December 2004, Davies moved to League Two side Yeovil Town on a free transfer
On 18 December 2004, Davies scored the winning goal on his debut in a 3–2 victory over Leyton Orient. On 29 January 2005, Davies scored in a 3–2 loss against Charlton Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
