Where is Simon Davies now?

A talented winger who could operate on either flank, Simon Davies retired from playing professionally in 2013 after six seasons at Fulham.

Starting his playing career at Peterborough United in 1997, he went onto make over 400 first-team appearances for four clubs over a 16-year period including Fulham where he was instumental in guiding them to the 2010 Europa Cup Final scoring in both the semi-final and the final itself.

On the international scene he was an important member of the Wales senior side between 2001 and 2010 winning 58 caps and captaining them during their 2010 World Cup qualifying games.

Not content with giving up football completely, Davies signed up to play for Welsh side Solva in 2014 where his brother was captain. Having earned £30,000 per week during his peak in the Premier League, Davies had to pay £3 per week subs in order to play.

Since retiring from playing Davies set up a private golf experience company with former team-mate Matthew Etherington called Edge Golf as well as working as an occasional matchday host in the hospitality lounges at former club Fulham.

In December 2018 he he re-joined former side Peterborough United as an academy coach having previously coached sides within the Fulham academy. Working with former team-mate Matty Etherington, he worked as assistant manager of their under-18’s and under-23’s side before joining  Crawley Town as Etherington’s assistant in November 2022.

Both Davies and Etherington left the club by mutual consent after just 32 days in charge after disagreements with the board in how the club was to move forward and reach its goals.
