She scored a hat-trick against Vanuatu in her first match.{{cite web |url=https://fijisun.com.fj/2018/08/26/happy-to-play-for-mums-country/ |title=Happy To Play For Mum's Country |publisher=Fiji Sun |date=26 August 2018 |access-date=28 July 2023}} 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.{{cite news |last=Lang |first=Andrew |date=October 13, 2018 |title=Marysville Pilchuck soccer star becomes celebrity in Fiji |url=https://www.heraldnet.com/sports/marysville-pilchuck-soccer-star-becomes-celebrity-in-fiji/ |work=The Everett Herald |access-date=October 13, 2018}}

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

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.{{cite web | url=https://www.heraldnet.com/sports/she-fled-rocket-fire-in-israel-for-the-safety-of-marysville/ | title=She fled rocket fire in Israel for the safety of Marysville | date=14 June 2021 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.abc.net.au/pacific/programs/pacificbeat/israel-fiji-davis/13350280 | title=Fiji: Soccer pro Trina Davis opts to leave Israel | website=Australian Broadcasting Corporation | date=19 May 2021 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.fijitimes.com/davis-reunites-safely-with-her-family-in-the-us/ | title=Davis reunites safely with her family in the US }}{{cite web | url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/442914/fijian-football-playing-teen-escapes-strife-torn-tel-aviv | title=Fijian football playing teen escapes strife-torn Tel Aviv | website=Radio New Zealand | date=19 May 2021 }}{{cite web | url=https://footballoceania.com/2021/03/02/davis-makes-israel-debut-it-felt-great-to-be-back-on-the-field-again/ | title=Davis makes Israel debut: "It felt great to be back on the field again" | date=2 March 2021 }}
