Career

Davis made her international debut for Fiji in the 2018 OFC Women's Nations Cup qualification tournament, hosted by Fiji. She scored a hat-trick against Vanuatu in her first match.[7] Davis had arrived in Fiji with the mistaken belief that she would be training with the national under-17 team, but was instead placed on the senior women's team. Trina Davis signed a national letter of intent with Grambling State University for the 2019–20 academic year.[8]

In February 2021, Trina Davis signed for Israeli Professional Football Team ASA Tel Aviv University.[2]

After interviews in which Davis attacked the Israeli club for its alleged mismanagement of her departure from the country, the club gave its version of the facts in an Israeli newspaper stating that the player had not told the whole truth and underlining the limited performance of the player and her condescending and insulting behavior towards her teammates.[9][10][11][12][13]

In September 2022 she joined Puerto Rico Sol FC.[14]
