The 38-year-old, representing Labour, won the election by a landslide in the early hours of Friday morning, beating Reform UK’s Alan Adams by 8,102 votes.
Mr Davies confirmed he will step down as leader at the Full Council meeting on Thursday, July 18, with his replacement set to be announced then.
However, Mr Davies will remain as an elected borough councillor for the Dawley and Malinslee Ward.
“I have had a truly rewarding time as leader of the council and am incredibly proud of all that we have achieved,” he said.
