Ben Davis

In 2020, Davis played the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship with Thailand U23.

As a Singaporean male, he would have been compulsorily enlisted into National service upon turning 18. His application to defer National Service to continue develop his professional career as a footballer was rejected as he "does not meet the criteria for long-term deferment from full-time NS". His father sought to draw parallels to the deferment given to Joseph Schooling, who used the opportunity to win Olympic medals and at other international swimming meets for Singapore. Mindef commented that Davis' contract with Fulham is no different from other pre-enlistees' personal pursuits. Despite being supported by the Football Association of Singapore, a further appeal was denied as well, on the consideration that through actions by him and his father, Davis wanted the deferment to fulfill his own professional career with no intention to serve National Service. Since 18 February 2019, Davis has been deemed as a National Service defaulter by MINDEF. On 13 October 2019, Davis declared that he has no intention to return to Singapore, or to fulfill his National Service obligations in the near future to develop his career and have no regrets doing so.

In his first season, Davis made 10 appearances for the club's Under-18 South League team, scoring a header against West Ham's Under-18 side and recording a passing accuracy of 90 percent. In 2018, Fulham announced that Davis, alongside other academy players, were offered professional contracts, where they would now earn a weekly wage as well as continue to play for the club's Under-18 and Under-23 side. He signed his first professional Fulham contract in June 2017, and is listed on the club's website as an English national. On 13 October 2019, Davis confirmed that he had registered to play as a local player with the English Football Association.

In September 2019, Davis was called up to the Thailand U23 national team for the SEA Games training camp.

In 2019, Ben Davis chose Thailand after dispute over his attempts to defer mandatory national service.

In 2018, Davis received a surprise call-up to the Singapore national team for the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, however he did not play in any of the matches.

In 2017, Davis earned a two-year academy scholarship with Fulham after impressing in trials. He was the first ever Singaporean player to sign for a Premier League side.

During his training stint with JSSL Singapore and FAS Junior Centre of Excellence, Davis represented various national age-group teams, such as the National Football Academy's Under-16 team at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-16 Championship qualifiers in 2015. In 2017, Davis earned a call-up to Singapore's Under-18 side to play in the AFC Under-19 Championship qualifiers.

Davis was born in Phuket, Thailand, and moved to Singapore at the age of five. Davis studied at the Singapore Sports School from 2013 to 2015 before moving to London's Harrow High School in 2016. In 2017, he was awarded a two-year scholarship with Fulham's academy.
