Callum Davies will always remember his Football League debut.

It came two years ago against Crewe when he was just 17, and ended with him being sent off.

The 19-year-old has had to wait a long time for another start, but having been on the bench at Wycombe last week he got the nod to replace the suspended Tom Flanagan at Dagenham.

Davies said: "My first 90 minutes has been a long time coming, and it’s the first time I have actually finished a game that I started!

"It’s just nice to get a chance to show what I can do. I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully I have made a mark, and want to keep rolling now and see where it takes me."

Davies – who has been at Priestfield since the age of seven, under the guidance of Bryan Bull, Mark Patterson, Andy Hessenthaler and Darren Hare – enjoyed the experience despite the wet weather.

He admitted: "I enjoyed playing in that, I prefer it to a really hot day. It was a good team performance, and at the end of the day it was good to get three points.

"We have got a great bunch of lads in the squad, we have got to keep pushing on, keep winning, and see where we can go as a side."
