A good key signing for the Devils.
Ben is on the cusp of being an elite British player. Another improvement like last years and he will rightly be in the same bracket as a Myers, Clarke or Dowd.
" Good key signing" - yes definitely.
In the same "bracket as Clarke or Dowd " - gross over exaggeration !!!!!!! Those two win matches for their team by their individual shooting and stick handling. Ben Davies has made a very good contribution to this year's team and has improved a great deal but he has a massive improvement to make if he is to be compared alongside those two Brits whose record shows them to be as valuable as top end imports.
More realistic would be the promise of him next year proving as valuable as a Jonathan Phillips. Then maybe considerably further to match the Craig Peacocks and Farmers of the league. IMO the Dowds and Clarkes are even further along the ability spectrum and such possible comparisons are over ambitious.
