Davy has moved between West and Peterlee & Horden several times. His last seqson in the green, red and white the highly successful campaign which resulted in the play-off win against Heath.
The centre partnership with Peter Youll was one of the features of that season and the 36 year-old's experience and organisational skills could well be a feature of the new season in Counties 1 Durham and Northumberland. He has been training with the squad for several weeks, but didn't feature in the two warm-up wins against West Leeds and Penrith.
There were lots of encouraging signs in those two games - particularly with the numbers and strength of the forwards on show, while Davy's arrival will bolster a senior backs division which is strong on quality but not on numbers.
