Career
Youth
Davids played for the Nico Malan High School first team between 2010 and 2013. In the 2013 season, he scored an amazing 408 points during the season.[2]
He also represented Eastern Province at all possible youth levels. In 2007, he played for them at the Under-13 Craven Week competition and in 2010, he played at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week. He also played in the Under-18 Craven Week tournaments in both 2011 and 2012, culminating in a call-up to the South African Schools side in 2012, although he didn't make the final squad.
At the end of 2013, he played in four matches for the Eastern Province U19 side in the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship season, helping his side to win the Division B title (scoring a hat-trick of tries, five conversions and two penalties in the final)[3][4] and subsequently win promotion to Division A.[5][6]
Senior career
He made his senior debut for the Eastern Province Kings in the 2014 Vodacom Cup by coming on as a substitute in their 17–10 opening day defeat to Kenyan side Simba XV.[7] He also appeared as a substitute in their next two matches – a 60–6 victory over the Border Bulldogs in Grahamstown[8] and a 56–22 loss to Western Province in Cape Town[9] – with Davids scoring a try in each of those matches. That led to his first senior start in their next match, a defeat to the Free State XV in Cradock.[10]
