Bio
A rare Welsh-born talent in the VFL, Reg Davies hailed originally from Treherbert before being recruited to Hawthorn from the local Auburn Football Club. Standing 182cm and weighing 80kg, he possessed a sturdy frame that was considered significant for the era, marking him as a key position prospect capable of adding much-needed size and strength to a struggling Hawks outfit. He made his senior debut late in the 1930 season against Fitzroy and was granted two further opportunities early in 1931, though he was unable to cement a regular spot in the starting 18. Davies departed the club with just three goalless games to his name, serving as a brief experiment during a difficult developmental period for the Mayblooms.
