Benjamin Thomas Davies (born 24 April 1993) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a left back for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Wales national team.
Davies was born in Neath, Neath Port Talbot and after spending time in the youth academy at Swansea City, he and his family moved to Viborg in Denmark after his father took up a job offer. They spent three years living in Denmark where Davies played for Viborg FF's youth team before returning to Swansea.
After spending time with the youth ranks and signing a new two-year contract with Swansea City of the Premier League, Davies made his first-team debut against West Ham United on 25 August 2012, coming on as an 84th minute substitute for Neil Taylor in a 3–0 home win.
Davies became a regular starter for Swansea in the 2012–13 season, following a long-term injury to Taylor.
On 23 November 2012, Davies signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with Swansea.
On 19 January 2013, Davies scored his first goal for Swansea against Stoke City in a 3–1 victory. In doing so, at 19 years and 270 days, he became Swansea's youngest ever scorer in the Premier League. In September 2013, he scored his second and third Premier League goals for Swansea, against West Brom and Arsenal respectively.
On 24 December 2013, Davies signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at Swansea until June 2017.
On 23 July 2014, Davies joined Tottenham Hotspur on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee. He joined on the same day as his Swansea teammate Michel Vorm, with Gylfi Sigurðsson being exchanged as part of the deal. Davies made his Premier League debut for Tottenham Hotspur as a late substitute in a 0–3 defeat to Liverpool. He made his first start for the club in the league in a 2–1 away win at Hull City on November 23. He scored his first goal for the club on 8 January 2017, scoring a header in an FA Cup tie against Aston Villa. Davies signed a new four year contract at Tottenham on 9 March 2017, extending his deal to 2021.
