Nathan Davis (born 15 November 1995) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who last played for the Parramatta Eels in the National Rugby League. He played as a centre, wing and fullback. He has previously played for the Gold Coast Titans.

Background[edit]

Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Davis is of Indigenous Australian descent.[3] He played his junior rugby league for the Hinchinbrook Hornets[4] and Mount Pritchard Mounties, before being signed by the Parramatta Eels.

Playing career[edit]

Early career[edit]

In September and November 2013, Davis played for the Australian Schoolboys.[5] In 2014 and 2015, he played for the Parramatta Eels' NYC team.[6]

2016[edit]

In 2016, Davis joined the Gold Coast Titans.[7] In round 1 of the 2016 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Titans against the Newcastle Knights.[8][9]

2017[edit]

In March, Davis rejoined the Parramatta club after gaining a release from his Gold Coast Titans contract.[10] Parramatta exercised an option to extend Davis until the end of the 2018 season.[11] He made his debut for Parramatta against the North Queensland Cowboys in Darwin on 10 June 2017.[12][13] Davis made no further appearances for Parramatta in the 2017 season and spent the rest of the year with Wentworthville in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW competition.[14]

2018[edit]

In 2018, Davis spent the entire season with the Wentworthville Magpies after being unable to break into the Parramatta first grade team.[15] On 24 September 2018, Davis was handed a 12-week suspension by the NRL and fined by Parramatta after testing positive to "illicit and hazardous drugs". It was the second time that Davis had failed a drugs test at the club. Davis was released by the club following the conclusion of the season.[16][17][18]
