Fabian Davis (born 30 June 1974 in Swallowfield, East Kingston) is a retired Jamaican football defender or midfielder.
On 7 October 2008 to January 2010, he became interim player/coach of Arnett Gardens F.C., after Jerome Waite was sacked following a poor start to the season.
Nicknamed Fabulous, he has also played for Real Mona, Harbour View F.C. and Arnett Gardens F.C., Tivoli Gardens FC, and Portmore United F.C. all in Jamaica as well as for Seattle Sounders in the USL First Division. While with Arnett Gardens, he captained the side to league titles in 2001 and 2002 and also claimed the Most Valuable Player and the Player of the Season titles those years. He went on to join Tivoli Gardens F.C. in the January 2004 transfer window and was instrumental in Tivoli Gardens winning the Premier League title in 2004. [1] Fabian Davis has the distinction of being the only player to cop the Most Valuable Player and Player of the season award for two separate winning premier league teams, as he picked up these awards for Tivoli Gardens F.C. in the 2003-4 season, along with the Player Personality Award. He rejoined Arnett from Portmore United in the January 2008 transfer window, and went on to serve as player coach for 1 and a half seasons from October 2008 to January 2010.[2]
A veteran of the national team, he made his debut for the Reggae Boyz in 1995 against Canada and has collected over 70 caps since, although he missed out on the 1998 FIFA World Cup squad. He usually plays wingback for the Reggae Boyz, including the 2007 Lunar Cup when Jamaica won the title. In November 2010, Fabian captained the Jamaica national beach soccer team that failed to advance to the semi-finals of the CONCACAF championships, following narrow losses to defending champs, El Salvador, and tournament hosts Mexico.[3]
