Davis joined Sunderland in June 2005 for a fee of £1.25m and played in most of their
Premier League games in the 2005–06 season, as Sunderland were relegated with a points total of only 15. Davis had a difficult time at Sunderland, being criticised by fans for some errors made during important games culminating in an angry fan invading the pitch and abusing him. One of the most obvious was when he let in a 45 yard effort from Matthew Taylor of Portsmouth in October 2005. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4366688.stm]outhampton
In an attempt to rebuild his career after his difficult spell at Sunderland, Davis joined Southampton in July 2006 for a fee reported to be around £1m. He linked up with former goalkeeping coach Malcolm Webster, who coached him during his spell at Ipswich. At Southampton, he was first choice goalkeeper for most of the 2006–07 season until a three-match ban relegated him to the bench where he remained after the return of
Bartosz Białkowski . He was suspended for three games after kicking out at Stoke City's strikerJon Parkin onMarch 10 2007 . His current contract with the Saints runs out in 2009. [http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/search/?mode=movenav&page_id=8306]External links
