A bulky three-quarter, Davies was nicknamed "Tanky" for his ability to barge through defences. He played with the Army during national service, the Welsh Guards, London Welsh and won his Wales caps while at Bridgend, making three appearances as a winger in the 1966 Five Nations Championship.{{cite news |title=Lyn Davies retires but new players are joining Bridgend |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/838589324 |work=The Glamorgan Gazette |date=2 May 1969}}
