Davies built his rugby career in North Wales, beginning his journey with Caernarfon as a young teenager before progressing through the regional development pathway. After studying in Cardiff, he returned home and rejoined the senior squads of both clubs in 2023.

A Rugby Journey That Began at Age 12
Davies’ connection with Clwb Rygbi Caernarfon began when he was just 12 years old.
The club remembered him as a promising young athlete who developed through different teams before earning a place in the RGC pathway. That progression gave him the opportunity to continue developing as a player within North Wales’ rugby system.
His journey reflected years of involvement in the sport, from his early days at Caernarfon to competing at senior level.
Davies later became part of both Caernarfon and RGC’s senior squads, returning to the teams in 2023 after completing his university studies.
The clubs’ tributes reflected the importance of those long-standing connections and the loss felt by people who had watched him develop from a young player into a senior team member.
Studies at Cardiff Metropolitan University
Away from the rugby field, Davies moved to Cardiff to study Physical Education and Sport at Cardiff Metropolitan University.
He spent three years at the university, combining his academic development with the experiences that would shape his life beyond his hometown.
After completing his studies, he returned to North Wales and resumed playing for Caernarfon and RGC in 2023.
His path brought together education, sport and a return to the community where his rugby journey had started.
