Ryan Davis made his AFL debut for the West Coast Eagles at Gold Coast Stadium versus North Melbourne in Round 8 of the 2008 AFL season. It has been a meteoric rise for Ryan who played his junior football at the Willoughby Wildcats Junior Football Club and then made his senior debut for North Shore in 2007. Season 2007 was an outstanding season for Ryan with a list of achievement being selection in the NSW/ACT RAMS U18 team, scholarship with the West Coast Eagles, Senior Premiership, Rod Podbury Medal for best on ground in the grand final and runner-up in the 2007 North Shore senior best and fairest.
Following his outstanding season, Ryan was offered a rookie list spot with the West Coast Eagles and has progressed rapidly in 2008 with WAFL club Swan Districts. His progress has seen him elevated to the senior list at West Coast. Ryan has also joined a select group of AFL players who kicked a goal with their first kick in senior football.
