Benjamin Davis: The midfielder opened a beautiful goal for Thai, blatantly "scolding" Quang Hai

In the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final against Vietnam, Benjamin Davis attracted attention when he scored the equalizer for Thailand. He is not a strange face to football fans.

Benjamin Davis, whose full name is Benjamin James Davis (24 years old), is considered a bright player of the Thai national team. He was born in Phuket, Thailand and came to Singapore to live with his family when he was just 5 years old. Davis is the second child in a family of four. His mother is Thai, while his father is British.

From 2013 to 2015, Benjamin Davis studied at the Singapore Sports School before moving to Harrow High School in London in 2016. He began his career as a player by studying at the Junior Soccer School and League Singapore, a youth football academy owned by his father, based in Singapore, in partnership with Fulham and Singapore Premier League club Tampines Rovers.

Later, Benjamin Davis joined the Singapore Football Association's Youth Talent Training Centre and represented Singapore's national teams at different levels (U16, U19). In 2017, he won a two-year scholarship with Fulham's football academy after impressing in scouting. And also the first Singaporean player to sign a contract with a Premier League team.

In his first season, Benjamin Davis made 10 appearances for the club's U18 South League team, including a goal-scoring header against West Ham U18 and achieved a pass accuracy rate of 90%. In June 2017, he signed his first professional contract with Fulham and was noted on the club's website as a British citizen.

In 2018, Fulham announced that Davis, along with other academy players, had been signed professionally. They are paid a weekly salary as well as continue to play for the club's U18 and U23 teams. In August 2019, Davis came on in the 89th minute of Fulham's 1-0 loss to Southampton in the English Football League Cup.

In the same year, Benjamin Davis was unexpectedly called up to the Singapore national team to participate in the 2019 Asian Cup Qualifiers, but he did not play in any matches. On October 13, the midfielder born in 2000 confirmed that he had registered to play as a local player with the English Football Association.

In September 2019, Davis was summoned to the Thailand U23 team to prepare for the 30th SEA Games.

In 2022, the Port club of female billionaire Nualphan Lamsam reached an agreement to borrow the midfielder from Oxford United for a period of 1 year.

Joining Port, Benjamin Davis has the opportunity to play in the Thai League, the highest professional league of Thai football, to develop a career that is slowing down. His contract with Oxford was not renewed at the end of the 2022-23 season. After parting ways with Port FC, 10x signed Chonburi.

In 2023, Davis was called up to the Thai national team for the 2023 King's Cup to replace captain Chanathip Songkrasin, who withdrew due to injury. In January 2024, Chonburi province officially announced that he would join the Uthai Thani football team.
