He made his Coventry debut on 24 September 2005, aged 18, in a Football League Championship clash against Hull City at the Ricoh Arena.[2] In March 2006, Davis was offered a new contract and eventually signed a deal two months later.[3][4]
Davis then spent the start of the 2006–07 campaign on loan at Football League Two outfit Peterborough United on 14 September 2006.[5] Two days after signing for the club, Davis made his Peterborough United debut, where he set up a goal for Trevor Benjamin to score the winning goal against Swindon Town.[6] His performances at Peterborough United earned him a loan extension for another month.[7] After playing 7 games the loan ended and Davis returned to his parent|club following a knee problem. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/thornton-back-in-training-3113398 After returning to his parent club, Davis then made his first appearance of the 2006–07 season, starting the game, in a 4–1 win over Barnsley on 17 March 2007.[8] Davis featured in three first-team matches for Coventry under managerIain Dowie at the tail-end of the season[9] and his performances led to signing a new one-year deal at the club in May 2007.[10] He had made rapid progress since arriving in the Midlands, but unfortunate injuries restricted his progress in the first half of 2007–08 season.[11] However, an impressive substitute appearance toped off with an assist in a 2–1 in over Ipswich Town in December prompted an extended run in the side, both on the left wing and in an unaccustomed role at left-back.[12][13] Manager Iain Dowie was sacked and Chris Coleman was named as his replacement. At the end of the 2007/08 season, Davis was told his contract would not be renewed and he was free to find a new club as Chris Coleman did not think he would feature regularly in his plans.[14] Northampton Town[edit]Davis then signed for Football League One side Northampton Town on a two-year contract on 6 June 2008.[15] Davis made his Northampton Town debut playing 78 minutes, in a 4–2 win over Cheltenham Town in the opening game of the season.[16] he scored his first Northampton Town goal, just 25 minutes after coming on as a substitute, in a 3–2 loss against Huddersfield Town on 20 September 2008.[17] By the end of 2008, Davis added two more goals, which were against Leeds United[18] and Leyton Orient.[19] His fourth goal of the season came on 24 January 2009, with a right footed strike in a 5–1 win over Crewe Alexandra.[20] Despite Northampton town getting relegated to league 2 later in the 2008–09 season, Davis finished his first season at the club making thirty–three appearances scoring four times in all competitions. Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Davis suffered an unfortunate metatarsal injury during the pre–season game at home to Sheffield Wednesday.[21] He remained sidelined until he made his return to action in a reserve match in mid–October.[22] He returned to the first team on 31 October 2009, coming on as a second–half substitute, in a 1–0 loss against Torquay United.[23] However, his return was short–lived when he suffered "a recurrence of the stress fracture in his foot".[24] It wasn’t until on 9 February 2010 after intense rehab when he returned to the first team from coming on as a second–half substitute, in a 4–0 win over Accrington Stanley.[25] As a result, Davis's second season restricted him to only 46 appearances in the two seasons but he showed glimpses of his talent through his goals against Grimsby Town[26] and his brilliant solo effort travelling half the length of the pitch to unleash a terrific strike againstMorecambe[27] during the 2009/10 season. Davis signed a one-year contract extension in June 2010.[28] In the 2010–11 season, Davis played in the opening game of the season, in a 3–0 win over Torquay United.[29] The season brought a good cup run which saw Northampton Town beat Premier League giants Liverpool at Anfield 4-2 on penalties where Davis netted the cobblers third penalty in the shootout and put in a performance that gained recognition from clubs in higher leagues.[30] Davis then scored his first goal of the season on 26 October 2010, in the following third round in a 3–1 loss against Ipswich Town of the League Cup.[31] After this performance Davis found himself more often in the left back role. On 20th November 2010 Davis received his 1st red card of his career when he was sent–off just nine minutes into the game for a last ditch tackle, in a 4–1 loss against Barnet [32] Following this, Davis continued playing in defensive positions and helped the club with three clean–sheets between 30 October 2010 and 13 November 2010. on March the 2nd 2011 it was announced that Northampton town would be manager Ian Sampson Ian Sampson, His replacement was Gary Johnson. Johnson wanted to start building for the following season and Davis was soon informed about an offer that would be on the table but Davis couldn’t accept any offer as the clubs league status for the following season wasn’t certain at the time. Davis scored a vital equalising goal against Rotherham United FC to help keep alive Northampton towns hopes of avoiding the drop and then scoring 1st in the last home game of the season beating Stevenage.[33]"Liam Davis the hero for Cobblers".

Retrieved 29 May 2017.</ref> Stevenage.[34] On 13 May 2011, it was announced that Davis would be leaving Northampton at the end of his contract.[35] Oxford United[edit]On 29 July 2011, Davis signed a one-year deal with Oxford United.[36] Davis made his Oxford United debut in a 1–0 loss against Rotherham United in the opening game of the season.[37] He had to wait until the 3rd of September 2011 when he scored his first Oxford United goal, in a 3–1 loss against Crewe.[38] Then on 17th of September 2011, he scored again with a powerful volley in a 2–0 win over Barnet.[39] From that moment, he quickly established himself in the first team, playing in the attacking full back role.[40] By the end of 2011, he went on a twenty–four appearance run in all competitions despite being sent–off against Cheltenham Town on 26 November 2011, in which he served a two match ban,[41][42] [43] Davis continued his fine form and was ever present in the first team leading him to sign a one–year contract extension in February 2012.[44] In his first season at Oxford United, Davis went on to make forty–six appearances and scoring two times in all competitions. Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Davis suffered a groin problem following an operation that failed to clear up the initial injury at the end of the 2011–12 season.[45] It wasn’t until on 6 November 2012 when he made his first team return coming on as a second half substitute, in a 3–2 loss against Dagenham & Redbridge.[46] This followed up against Torquay United on 10 November 2012 when he made his first start, in a 0–0 draw.[47] |url=http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/10057748.Shake_up_not_the_answer__says_Oxford_United_boss/%7Cpublisher=Oxford "Luke Sharp".
