Bruce salutes bravery of captain fantastic Davies

Hull City 0 Aston Villa 0

Davies signed for the Tigers for €2.65m in the summer and has proved an instant success courtesy ofa handful of powerful performances at the back.

He was at his best in the goalless Premier League draw against Aston Villa, fronting up in a physical contest with Czech striker Libor Kozak and coming out on top to be named man of the match.
