BEN Davis has joined Thai League 1 side Port FC on a season-long loan.
The Oxford United midfielder, who plays for Thailand Under 23s at international level, moves to the Bangkok-based club for the 2022/23 campaign.
Davis has only made one senior competitive appearance for the U’s since his arrival from Fulham last August but starred for his country at the Southeast Asian Games this summer.

United head coach Karl Robinson told the club’s official website: “Ben is very talented and technically very gifted.
“He needs to show that on a regular basis in competitive first-team football and this will be a good chance for him.
“He has international ambitions and this will hopefully help with that as well.”
Davis is out of contract at the end of this season, having signed a two-year deal when he joined from Fulham.
His only competitive appearance for the U’s to date was as a substitute in the Papa John’s Trophy defeat to Stevenage last October.
The 21-year-old has represented Thailand at Under 23 level throughout his time at United and joins a club who finished eighth in the country’s top division last season.
Davis featured regularly for United in pre-season and scored a brilliant long-range winner against Hungerford Town last month.
