Club career
Coventry City
Davenport joined Coventry City as a trainee in August 2000.[1] He made his debut, in the final game of the 2000-01, a 0-0 draw against Bradford City,[1] the season which saw the club relegated from the Premiership.[2] It was not until the 2002-03 season that he became a regular first team player, earning the accolade of Young Player of the Year.[3] During the 2003-04 season he gained another accolade, winning the Player of the Year award.[4] He made 84 appearances for Coventry City in all competitions, scoring three goals.[1]
Tottenham Hotspur
He moved to Tottenham in August 2004 for a fee of £1,300,000.[4] While at Spurs, Davenport had short loan spells at West Ham,[5] Southampton[6] and Norwich City.[7] After returning to Tottenham in January 2006, Davenport made his Premiership debut in the 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United in April 2006.[8] He was the subject of transfer talk during the 2006 close season but remained at Spurs following a series of injuries to other defenders in pre-season. Davenport scored his first league goal in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt in December 2006, being the first goal in a 2-1 victory away to Manchester City, scored from a Tom Huddlestone freekick.[9] However, since joining Tottenham in 2004, he had struggled to establish himself in the Tottenham first team and in January 2007, transferred to West Ham.[10]
Davenport made twenty appearances for Tottenham in all competitions, scoring one goal.[1] While on loan, he made ten appearances for West Ham, twelve appearances for Southampton and 16 appearances for Norwich.[1]
West Ham United
Davenport joined West Ham United for £3,000,000 [11]on 18 January 2007.[10] He made his first start in his second spell for the club two days later in a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United. He had a goal disallowed during this match by referee Uriah Rennie.
International career
He has experience of the English national team at under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels. He is now ineligible for future competitive games for the U-21s due to his age.
