Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Davis captained Hazard United, now known as Portmore United to the Jamaican National Premier League title in 2002–03. He left Hazard on a year loan deal with Preston North End in the summer of 2003.
He signed for Preston North End from Hazard United in July 2003, initially on loan for the 2003–04 season before concluding a permanent deal at Deepdale in March 2004. During the 2004–05 season he provided Chris Lucketti and Youl Mawene with real competition for centre half positions and made 38 appearances for Preston, including the Championship play-off final where Preston lost to West Ham. In the 2005–06 season, Davis established himself as the mainstay of the Preston defence, contributing to 24 clean sheets and swept the board at the club's Player of the Season awards, named both the Player's Player and fans Player of the Season, as Preston reached the play-offs again.
