On 11 May, the final day of the season with Fulham already relegated, David scored on his Premier League debut in the dying seconds to tie the game against Crystal Palace.

On 31 January 2015, it was announced that David was sent on loan to his former club FC Twente until the end of the season. The club has the possibility to make the deal permanent. David did previously hint his return after they were relegated to the Football League Championship.

David was captain and scored his first goal, in a 2–2 draw against Volendam on 3 April 2015. David scored his second goal in the last game of the season against Achilles '29. At the end of the 2014–15 season, the club decided not to take up options to sign David permanently, as the club's financial problem believed to be the main factor.
