Although still a teenager, David was a near ever-present for Nottingham Forest in 2000-01 and continued to make good progress.
Although sometimes played away from his favoured central midfield role, he showed great stamina, playing in a similar style to former City Ground legend Roy Keane.
David continued to be a part of the England set-up, making his debut for the Under-21s against Georgia and winning a further five caps during the season.
His contract at Leeds United was extended to June 2009 in November 2007 and to June 2010 in August 2008.
After a loan spell, David joined Colchester United in February with a contract to the end of the season.
He joined Swindon Town in July 2010 with a one-year contract.
David joined Sheffield Wednesday in July 2011 with a two-year contract that was extended to June 2014 in June 2013.
