Player Background
Will Davis's journey to Sutton United is marked by multiple club changes within a short span. He has emerged from the lower leagues, proving his worth at Layson and then at Braintree, which led to his consideration by York.
Early Career
Davis initially made a name for himself by scoring goals for Layson, a few leagues below. His goal-scoring streak at Braintree grabbed attention, leading to his mid-season acquisition by York. Simon recalls:
"He'd been knocking in the goals at Leiston, who were a few leagues below, and then he'd gone to Braintree and started quite well there."
Playing Style
Characterized by his physicality and tenacity, Will Davis is known for his relentless work rate on the field. He isn't your typical target man but rather a versatile striker who can handle various roles.
Physical Attributes
Davis's physical presence allows him to engage defenders actively, chasing lost causes, and adding a layer of persistence to offensive plays. Here’s how Simon describes his playing style:
"He runs around quite a lot. He likes to kind of chase lost causes, get involved with defenders."
Versatility and Skill
Although his goal-scoring tapered off at York, he still managed to show flashes of his potential.
"He has a good scoring record at his previous clubs... in terms of what kind of striker he is, probably a bit of an all-rounder."
Impact at York
Davis's tenure at York wasn't as stellar as anticipated. Initially marking his debut with a goal, his performance couldn't maintain the momentum amid managerial changes and a defensively oriented team strategy.
Initial Performance
Simon shares initial high hopes for Davis:
"He started really well, scored on his debut, I think, or at least his full debut."
However, York’s defensive style limited Davis's impact, leading to his loan spell to Bromley.
Managerial Impact
The managerial change at York, from Neil Arley to Adam Hinchelood, came with different expectations, further influencing Davis's playtime and eventual departure.
"We ended up sacking Neil Arley, bringing a new manager in... he decided that Davis wasn't suited to his style."
Potential Role in Sutton United
Considering Davis’s quick adaptation in varying environments and his versatility, his exact role at Sutton United might initially be off the bench until he fully integrates into the squad’s dynamics.
Patience and Integration
While Davis’s full potential remains to be seen, his previous quick jumps through leagues suggest that, with some patience, he can thrive at Sutton United.
"It might be that you see him more as an option off the bench, and he is still quite young as well."
Personal Attributes
Beyond his on-field capabilities, Davis appears to possess a driven personality. His commitment to finding a club that offers growth over monetary gains underscores his professional ambition.
Interaction with Fans
Simon notes Davis's effort to engage with the fans despite a challenging season at York. His positive attitude and fitness levels can be pivotal in his transition to Sutton United.
"I can remember him trying to get up the crowd a few times... he seemed to have a good attitude."
Upcoming Sutton United Focus
With the new season approaching, all eyes will be on how quickly Davis adapts and contributes to Sutton United. His history suggests a player with potential waiting for the right environment to fully unlock his skills.
