In December 2015, following a four-week trial after being scouted in a friendly between Biggleswade Town Under-18s and an Aston Villa youth side, Davis signed for Aston Villa on an 18-month professional contract.

Manager Steve Bruce gave Davis his Villa debut on 8 January 2017, coming off the bench against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup, Villa lost 2–0.[3] Davis was given his league debut on 14 January 2017 against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[4] Davis scored his first professional goal away to Barnsley on 16 September 2017.[5]

On 22 September 2020, Davis was given a new Aston Villa contract extension to keep him with the club until 2024.[6] On 25 April 2021, Davis scored his first Premier League goal, an injury time equaliser against West Bromwich Albion.[7]
