He was recruited as the number 39 draft pick in the 2001 AFL Draft from Shepparton United. He made his AFL debut for the Carlton Football Club in Round 7, 2002 against Essendon.

Predominantly playing as a small forward, Davies spent a lot of time playing for Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants. A back injury sidelined Justin for the entire 2006 season, and he was delisted at season's end.

In 2007, Davies returned to his former junior club, Shepparton United, in the Goulburn Valley Football League. From 2008 until 2013, he played for Swan Hill in the Central Murray Football League,[1] and he won premierships with the club in 2008 and 2011.[2] He returned to Shepparton United in 2014.[3]
