Harry Spencer Davis (born 24 September 1991) is an English professional footballer, who plays as a defender for Scottish Championship side St Mirren. Davis previously played with Crewe Alexandra. Early in his career, he was loaned by Crewe to Nantwich Town, Stafford Rangers and Curzon Ashton.
Davis was born in Burnley, Lancashire. After progressing through the club's academy, he made his first-team debut for Crewe Alexandra on 8 May 2010, in a 1–0 defeat to Bradford City on the final day of the 2009–10 season. Before making his Crewe debut he enjoyed a short loan spell at Northern Premier League Premier Division team Nantwich Town. He was given his first professional contract in May 2010. In August 2010 he joined Stafford Rangers of the Conference North on a one-month loan, along with teammate Kelvin Mellor. His second game for the club came on the final day of the following season, also against Bradford. Crewe won the game 5–1 at Valley Parade.
He started in the first game of the following season, a 3–0 defeat away to Swindon Town. He began to feature regularly under manager Dario Gradi and scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 defeat to Southend United on 8 October 2011. A few games later he scored in a 1–0 away win to Cheltenham Town. On 10 November 2011, Gradi stepped down as manager of Crewe, with Harry's father Steve Davis taking over as manager. After scoring penalties in a 1–0 win against Bradford, a 3–0 win against Bristol Rovers and in a 1–1 draw against Rotherham United, Davis helped Crewe to reach the 2012 League Two play-off Final at Wembley Stadium, which Crewe won 2–0 against Cheltenham and were promoted to League One.
