Liam Lloyd Davis (born 23 November 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays for National League club Torquay United.

Career
Coventry City
Davis joined Coventry City as a 16-year-old trainee from Fulham's Academy. He made his Coventry debut on 24 September 2005, aged 18, in a Football League Championship clash against Hull City at the Ricoh Arena. In March 2006, Davis was offered a new contract and eventually signed a new deal two months later.

Davis then spent the start of the 2006–07 campaign on loan at Football League Two outfit Peterborough United on 14 September 2006. Two days after signing for the club, Davis made his Peterborough United debut, where he set up a goal for Trevor Benjamin to score the winning goal against Swindon Town. His playing time at Peterborough United earned him a loan extension for another month. After playing 7 games, Davis was dropped from the first team and ended his loan spell with Peterborough United and was sidelined with injuries for a long time.

After returning to his parent club, Davis then made his first appearance of the 2006–07 season, starting the whole game, in a 4–1 win over Barnsley on 17 March 2007. He returned to feature in three first-team matches for Coventry under Iain Dowie at the tail-end of the season and signed a new one-year deal at the club in May 2007.

He had made rapid progress since arriving in the Midlands, but injuries restricted his progress in the first half of 2007–08 season. However, an impressive substitute appearance in a 2–1 in over Ipswich Town in December prompted an extended run in the side, both on the left wing and in an unaccustomed role at left-back.

At the end of the 2007/08 season, Davis was told his contract would not be renewed and he was free to find a new club as then manager Chris Coleman did not think he would feature regularly in his plans.

Northampton Town
Davis then signed for Football League One side Northampton Town on a two-year contract on 6 June 2008.

Davis made his Northampton Town debut, where he started and played for 78 minutes, in a 4–2 win over Cheltenham Town in the opening game of the season. After missing out one match, he scored his first Northampton Town goal, just 25 minutes after coming on as a substitute, in a 3–2 loss against Huddersfield Town on 20 September 2008. By the end of 2008, Davis added two more goals, which were against Leeds United and Leyton Orient. His fourth goal of the season came on 24 January 2009,
