With Everton fans delighted to see Davies getting involved with the community, supporters headed for the comments section to share their admiration.
My lad was training at the academy one night not long ago and he walked past and the lads asked him to train. He did. Full pelt showing the lads how hard to train. During the session we heard he’d just signed his new contract. Sums him up. One of us

Nice one Neil. He’s a credit to the club, his family, to football and above all to himself.

He’s a top lad and IMO a top player, looking forward to continuing to see his development

The Englishman broke through the Toffees’ ranks during the 2015/16 season, having been handed his Goodison Park debut by Roberto Martinez in a 1-1 draw with Southampton (as per ESPN).
Since then the midfielder has gone on to take his total appearances figure to 94 for Everton, scoring four and assisting six along the way (per Transfermarkt), which is rather impressive considering he’s still only 21.
Nevertheless, supporters were in awe of Davies taking his time out to help others.
He’s a credit to himself and everyone else

What do we think?
When players give back to the community in football it is always a fantastic thing (per The Guardian), where a small deed can go a long way for supporters.
It’s evident from the photo and replies that Davies does similar on regular occasions, which he is rightly receiving plaudits for.
The only thing for him now personally is to really focus on nailing down a permanent spot for the Toffees.
