Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
All but 18 years old, Davies received his maiden cap when Sam Billings was called up for national duty. He played a handful of games during his debut season in 2015 and when he wanted more first team opportunity, Somerset signed him up. Davies got his wish of playing in the first XI and though he was considered as one of the sharpest wicket-keepers, his batting lacked ability.
Somerset went looking for a keeper who could give them more runs and found Surrey's Steve Davies, which in turn cut short Ryan's stay at the county side. He went back to playing club cricket for Weston in 2017.
Then came Durham, short of keeping resources, the north-east side signed Davies at the start of the 2018 season and he made his Durham debut at Riverside against Derbyshire, a game which Durham won.
Ryan has only played two first class games for Durham and turned out regularly for the Second XI. He will get his chance, after all he has age on his side.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Ryan Davies, a specialist wicketkeeper of high natural ability, began his career with his home county of Kent. He was Kent born and bred, studied at Sandwich Technology School and Canterbury Academy and played for Kent from U-13 level. He made his Kent first team debut in June 2015 after Sam Billings was called into England's one-day squad. By the end of the season, however, still 18 and after only eight matches in all competitions, in which his keeping ability had been more apparent than his aptitude for batting, he departed to Somerset where he had been promised regular first-team cricket. Matthew Maynard, Somerset's director of cricket, termed him "a great young talent."
That promise was kept and, after a mid-season emotional wobble, he began to live up to his reputation as one of the most promising young keepers around, as well as making a career-best 86, batting at No. 9, against Lancashire. But Somerset still hankered after more runs from their wicketkeeper, especially in limited-overs cricket, and they turned to his namesake, Steve Davies, Surrey's former England wicketkeeper, to provide it once the 2016 season was at its end. As it turned out, that signalled the end of Ryan's Somerset career. He made do with club cricket at Weston in 2017 and thanked them for helping him through when he was released by Somerset at the end of the season.
Davies bounced back once more signed a two-year contract with Durham in May 2018 after a series of impressive showings in the Academy & Second XI. He made his Durham Championship debut in the win over Derbyshire at Emirates Riverside - almost three years to the day after making his first-class debut against the same side for Kent - but was restricted to only three Championship appearances in his first season.
