Stats
Bio
Recruited from the City Football Club in Launceston, Frank Davies arrived at South Melbourne as part of the club's aggressive interstate recruitment drive that formed the famous "Foreign Legion" of the early 1930s. He broke into the senior side midway through the 1933 season, utilized as a forward option where he managed to contribute three goals across his seven appearances. While he played a role in the home-and-away campaign of that historic premiership year, Davies was unable to retain his spot in the formidable lineup for the finals series. His VFL career was ultimately confined to that solitary season before he moved on, standing as a depth player during one of the Swans' most celebrated eras.
