Club career

Davison began his career with Peterborough United and enjoyed loan spells at both St Neots Town[3] and Wisbech Town,[4] before making a permanent move to Isthmian League side, Enfield Town ahead of the 2018–19 campaign.[5] He made his debut during Enfield's 2–1 victory in the Alan Turvey Trophy, against Ware in September 2018.[6] Following a brief loan spell with Barking,[7] Davison returned to the club and went on to score his first goals for the club during a 4–1 victory over Burgess Hill Town in the Alan Turvey Trophy, netting a 76-minute hat-trick.[8] Davison then went on to net three more times for the club before leaving Enfield in June 2019.

On 18 October 2019, following a trial period with the under-23s, Davison sealed a move to Championship side Charlton Athletic until the end of the season[9] and made his first-team debut during a 2–2 draw with West Bromwich Albion,[10] just a week after signing for the Addicks.

On 24 October 2020, Davison joined Woking until January 2021.[11] On 13 January 2021, it was reported that Davison's loan had expired at Woking and he had returned to Charlton Athletic with the view to a loan move to a League Two club.[12] Six days later, he joined Forest Green Rovers on loan until the end of the season.[13]

On 24 January 2022, Davison joined Swindon Town on loan for the rest of the 2021–22 season.[14]

On 18 July 2022, Davison joined AFC Wimbledon on a permanent deal.[15] He scored his first goals for Wimbledon when he scored twice in a 5–2 defeat to Mansfield Town on 16 August 2022.[16]

On 19 June 2024, Davison joined League Two side Tranmere Rovers on a 2 year permanent deal.
