Across 24 appearances as a replacement, Davids has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging close to four tackles per game and topping out at ten in a single outing. His carrying numbers are modest — rarely more than a couple of runs per game — which points to a role focused on providing defensive stability rather than ball-in-hand impact when he arrives from the bench. The consistency of that tackle count across three competitions underlines a player who fulfils a disciplined, high-effort defensive function whenever called upon.
Born on 4 February 1998, Eddie is 28 years old, stands 175cm (5′9″) tall and weighs 101kg.
