Club career
Chelsea
Born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, Davey joined Chelsea at the age of ten. He made his Under-18 debut for the club as a schoolboy during the 2010–11 season, making 12 appearances. That season Davey also made his debut for the club's Reserves against Manchester United in April 2011.[3]
In 2011–12 Davey lifted the FA Youth Cup and was youth team manager Adi Viveash’s pick of the players in the second leg of the final as the trophy was won. Davey signed his first professional contract in July 2012.[3]
During the following season he was one of only two players – along with Lewis Baker – to feature in every game of both the NextGen Series and FA Youth Cup campaigns when the final was reached in both. He also became a regular at the heart of the Under-21 team defence, often partnering Nathan Aké. In total, he made 17 appearances for the older age group, finishing the season as the highest appearance maker.[3]
In 2014 Chelsea won the inaugural Under-21 Premier League.[4] Davey made 14 appearances and scored in a 4–1 win against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.[3]
Before Davey was sent on his first loan deal to Scunthorpe United, he signed a new deal keeping him with the Blues until the end of the 2016 season.[3]

On 26 November 2014, Davey joined Scunthorpe of League One on loan until 3 January 2015. He made his debut for the club in a 2–1 victory at Barnsley three days later, playing the full 90 minutes.[5] His loan was extended to 30 June 2015, the end of the season.[6] On 17 December, Davey scored as his team defeated Worcester City 14–13 in a penalty shootout in the FA Cup second round, a record score in the competition.[7] He scored his first senior goal n a 2–2 draw against Chesterfield in the following round on 6 January 2015.[8][9]
Loan to Peterborough United
On 8 August 2015, Davey joined another League One team, Peterborough United, on a one-month loan deal.[10][11] He made his debut for them the same day in a 2–0 away defeat to Rochdale, playing the full 90 minutes.[12] On 1 September, he signed an extension of his loan until 3 January 2016, after impressing under manager Dave Robertson.[13]
Loan to Stabæk
On 15 March 2016, Davey joined Norwegian side Stabæk on loan until 22 July 2016.[14] On 20 March 2016, Davey made his Stabæk debut in a 2-1 home defeat to Molde, playing the full 90 minutes.[15]
