Another Canadian player has joined the Ottawa Fury FC.

The club, about to start its first-ever training camp on Monday, signed Longueuil, Que. native Philippe Davies.

Davis, the eighth Canadian to sign with the Fury, spent the last two seasons with the Richmond Kickers in the USL PRO after developing with the Vancouver Whitecaps from 2008-2011.

The midfielder has also represented Canada on several occasions with the U17, U20 and U23 teams and played on the full men's national team last January.

Davies said he was "delighted" to join the Fury.

"When the chance came to return and play in Canada came I didn't hesitate. I can't wait to meet the fans and start a successful inaugural season for Fury FC."

Fury coach Marc Dos Santos said he believes Ottawa will "be the right fit for a player that has represented Canada at every level.

The team now has 17 players under contract heading into camp.
