Across 28 appearances as a replacement, Davids has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging 3.5 tackles per match and accumulating 99 in total across three competitions. His carrying numbers are modest by design — roughly 1.5 carries and under 2 metres per appearance — suggesting he is deployed primarily to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. His best individual performances, reaching 10 tackles and 5 carries in a single match, indicate he can lift his work-rate meaningfully when called upon.
Born on 4 February 1998, Eddie is 28 years old, stands 175cm (5′9″) tall and weighs 101kg.
