In an interview with Tru4U, Davis talked about his decision to represent Thailand, and his plans for the future.
He acknowledged that he could have technically represented four countries, England, Wales, Singapore, or Thailand.He was born in Phuket to a Thai mother, and an English father, and soon made his way to Singapore at just five years old, becoming a citizen four years later.
The reason he chose Thailand was due to the "bright future" he sees for the Southeast Asia powerhouse. His parents are 100 per cent supportive of his decision to represent Thailand as well.
Davis also revealed that his father had wanted him to play for Singapore, but "for some reason" that didn't happen.
