A. Davies

Alphonso Boyle Davies (born November 2, 2000) is a professional soccer player who plays as a left-back, winger, or wing-back for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and captains the Canada national team. Regarded as one of the best left-backs in the world, Davies has earned the nickname "the Roadrunner" for his pace, dribbling ability, and creativity. Davies was the first player born in the 2000s to play in a Major League Soccer match. He joined Bayern in January 2019 from MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps FC on a contract lasting until 2023 for a then-record MLS transfer fee, and in February 2025 signed a new contract with Bayern Munich until June 2030. Davies was named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season for 2019–20. In that season he also was part of the team winning the continental treble after Bayern won the Bundesliga, the UEFA Champions League and the DFB-Pokal. His performances led him to be a finalist for the 2020 Golden Boy award. Born a Liberian refugee in Ghana, Davies and his family relocated to Canada when he was five years old.
