Damian, son of Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City footballer Steve Davey, played and scored against Okehampton Argyle for Exeter's youth team on 30 December 1989. He had recently been released after a two-year apprenticeship at Home Park and was looking to get back into the game having also had a three-match trial with Coventry City.

He was unsuccessful in the playing sense but, after developing an interest in the treatment of injury, Damien later worked as physio at both Plymouth Argyle and Torquay United. He also ran his own practice and later specialised as an aesthetic practitioner.

Whilst at Plainmoor Damien made occasional appearances in reserve games and in the Devon St Luke’s Bowl.
