A commanding centre-back who was signed from Northern Premier League side Dunston on 21 January 2022.
Dominant in the air and good on the ground, he had been with the Tynesiders since 2016, having previously played for Bedlington Terriers and North Shields Athletic.
He was nominated for Northern League Young Player of the Year in Dunston’s title-winning season of 2018-19, and was named Supporters’ Player of the Year.
Made his Consett debut on 22 January in the 2-0 win at Newton Aycliffe and got his first goal v Ryhope on 12 February – the first of 4 in 13 games.
Missed several games in the promotion run-in due to a badly broken nose, but returned for the play-off, in which he played a pivotal role. Signed permanently in the summer of 2023 on contract.
He was named Player of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year and Supporters’ Player of the Year in our inaugural NPL season, and last season’s Supporters’ and Manager’s Player of the Year.
Manager Tony Fawcett named Dan as captain for the 2024-25 season.
