Davies dropped ten places down the ranking list to No 64 in the world after a disappointing 2009/10 season.
He won just two matches in six ranking events - one in the Grand Prix and one in the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship.
Based in Cardiff but a supporter of Ipswich Town, Davies reached his first ranking event semi-final at the 1991 Dubai Classic, during his debut season in the professional ranks.
He beat Martin Clark 5-2 in the quarter-finals only to be whitewashed 6-0 by eventual winner John Parrott in the semis.
“The bubble burst today,” he said afterwards. “I was geared up before the match but when I got out there I felt nothing.”
Davies took his revenge on Parrott in the quarter-finals of the 1993 Asian Open, winning 5-2 before losing 5-2 to Dave Harold in the semis. His conqueror once again went on to lift the trophy.
