Davis hands in transfer request

NCP Manchester 'keeper Phil Davis has had a transfer request accepted by manager Gary Kerrigan and the veteran is set to move to Birmingham outfit 'Back Inter Bryan FC' with a view to a permanent contract. Davis, who has two months remaining on his current contract will leave at the end of june on a 'Bosman free'. Richard Summerfield says: "We're delighted to have him (Davis)and he'll be available from the start of the new season, hopefully we'll be promoted to division three by then, if not it'll be on him to help us get up there but he'll have to compete for his place just like everybody else." Davis had this to say:"Well, it's a good move for me, you know...I need a new challenge and it could be said that it has gone a little stale for me in Manchester, I still love it there but I feel that a promtion charge is what I'm up for now and I know I can compete at this level." Davis used to play for AFC Longbridge in the Birmingham leisure-league Premier division and will be setting his sights on ragaining his former glory in Selly Oak where he helped his home-town side win the league twice.
