Jordan Andrew Davies (IPA: [Davis] ; born 18 August 1998) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for EFL League Two club Grimsby Town on loan from EFL League One side Wrexham.
Born in Wrexham, Davies joined the local team's academy. He joined Cymru Premier side Bangor on a short-term loan the day after his 18th birthday. Following a spell with the youth academy of Brighton, he re-signed for Wrexham in 2020. Davies has represented Wales U17 in a one-off appearance in 2015 and Wales U19 in a duel against the Czech Republic U19 in 2016.
Following impressive displays within the Wrexham academy, Davies joined Cymru Premier side Bangor on a short-term loan the day after his 18th birthday. [2] Davies made 14 appearances in four months at Bangor with his performances leading to comparisons with Gareth Bale by former Wales international Andy Legg. [3] Following the conclusion of the loan, Bangor made an offer to sign Davies on a permanent basis. However, this offer was rejected by Wrexham. [4]
Championship leaders Brighton & Hove Albion signed him to a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee shortly after his return to Wrexham. [5] Davies was selected and scored his first professional goal in the EFL Trophy victory over Peterborough United in October 2018. [6] On 10 June 2020, Davies was released by the club. [7]
Following his release by Brighton at the conclusion of the 2019–20 Premier League season, Davies re-signed with Wrexham on a two-year contract. [8] In his first season back at the Racecourse, Davies played a central role as Wrexham narrowly missed out on the National League play-offs the final day of the season. This season included Davies scoring the first hattrick of his professional career in the April win over Halifax Town. [9]
On 1 January 2022, Davies signed a three-and-a-half-year extension with Wrexham. [10]
In August 2024, Davies joined EFL League Two team Grimsby Town on loan until the end of the season. [11] He has been assigned squad number 7 for the 2024–25 season [12] He made his first appearance for the club off the bench in Grimsby's first league match away to Fleetwood Town. [13] Davies scored his first two goals for the club in the 3-2 league victory over Cheltenham Town on 17 August 2024.
