The Back Lane club had signed up David Usher for another year but his contract has been terminated by mutual consent due to a troublesome neck injury, although he has agreed to stay on as an amateur.
Davis played for Little Leaver in the Bolton League last season as an amateur but had a two-year stint as Chorley's paid-man in the Northern League before that.
The New South Wales man is a lively fast medium bowler who also proved handy with the bat in his spell at Windsor Park.
``Ronnie has had a good season in the Bolton League and we've got him basically to better our bowling attack,'' said Baxenden's new cricket chairman Paul Clegg.
``We want to be a lot stronger next year and there are a number of other people we are hoping will join us.
``As a club we are doing very well in other areas so it's about time we transformed that on to the pitch.''
