Dartford-born player who started his career as a trainee with Gillingham and featured for the club's youth team during the 1993/94 and 1994/95 seasons. On 4.8.94 Danny scored an own goal as the Gills drew 3-3 in a friendly at Margate. He was released in the summer of 1995 and joined Margate at the same time as his former Gills team-mates Richard Corbyn and Karl Emerick.
Danny made his debut in midfield during a 3-1 defeat at Trowbridge on 19.8.95, the opening day of the 1995/96 season, and from then on he was a regular in the Margate side, usually playing in midfield until the end of 1995. On 26.12.95 Danny was switched to right-back for a 2-1 defeat against Sittingbourne at Hartsdown Park and he then started 16 of the next 17 games in the number two shirt before an injury sidelined him for three matches in April 1996. Danny returned to play at left-back in the last game of the 1995/96 campaign - a 2-1 defeat at Fareham on 4.5.96 - but it was his last appearance for Margate. He left the club at the end of the season having played 46 times without scoring.
In the summer of 1996 Danny signed for Ashford but by the end of September 1996 he'd moved on to Fisher.
In December 1997 Danny joined Erith & Belvedere and went on to make 106 appearances (12 as sub) there before leaving the club at the end of the 1999/00 campaign. He then dropped out of senior football.
