As a Llanelli player he held the club's try-scoring record[3] scoring 45 tries in 44 games during the 1988/9 season. He scored 121 tries in 159 matches for Llanelli.[citation needed]
Davies worked as a farmer near Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire and witnessed the Glanrhyd Bridge railway accident early on 19 October 1987, when four people died.[4] He later helped ferry rescuers to the bridge using the farm's tractor.[2] He retired from first class rugby in 1991 to run the Llangadog farm, though he continued to play for his local village team.[3]
He died aged only 32 on 10 February 1997[1] after being found dead in his fume-filled car at his home.[3] He had 2 daughters- Elen Mair and Catrin Anna
