Davis, who grew up in Werris Creek, played six games for the Titans in 2008 and had a decorated career playing for the Tweed Heads Seagulls in the Intrust Super Cup (formally the Queensland Cup).
He captained the Seagulls to the 2007 Queensland Cup title.
It was the first time a team from NSW had won the competition.
In 2015, he was named five-eighth and captain in the Seagulls' best team of the past 20 years.
He is widely regarded as one of the best players to have graced that competition.
"It was a long time ago back in 2008 [when he was a Titans].
"But it is really exciting and really great to get an opportunity to be back at the club," he said.
Davis will work with players as they transition between NRL and the Intrust Super Cup squads.
He came through the Junior Titans System programs, and was a teacher at Palm Beach Currumbin High on the Gold Coast - one of the club's affiliate schools.
"They are two really great organisations [the Titans and Palm Beach Currumbin High]," he said.
"PBC has helped me develop as a coach, and along the way you do build really good relationships with the young players who have progressed up into the Titans squad."
As for how he sees himself fitting into the Titans' coaching team, he said he was "just finding" his way there.
He added that he was "really stoked to be learning off some great experienced heads in rugby league".
He was "learning plenty", he continued, and was determined to put his "head down and get on board with the systems in place".
