Davey signed his first professional contract in July 2012.[4] 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.[4] In 2014 Chelsea won the inaugural Under-21 Premier League; Davey made 14 appearances and scored in a 4–1 win against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.[4]
