Dan is a member of Consett manager Terry Mitchell’s Newcastle United Btec Foundation side which plays out of Belle View, and he also attends the Gateshead College Academy.

This is his second spell at the club. The attacking midfielder was re-signed on 27 January 2020 from 2nd Division Esh Winning, and was an unused substitute in the FA Vase 5th Round game v Deal Town on 8 February.

Previously with Consett Under-21s, he made the bench once during his first spell, for a League Cup tie v Bishop Auckland in December 2018.

After impressing in the 2020-21 pre-season against the likes of Morpeth Town and Sunderland Under-23s, he made his senior debut as a sub v Newcastle Benfield on 19 September.

He has impressed in several further substitute appearances, and is pushing hard for a first start.
