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

Previously with Consett Under-21s, he made the bench once for the first team before signing for 2nd Division Esh Winning to gain experience.

Re-signed in January 2020, and after impressing in pre-season against the likes of Morpeth Town and Sunderland U23s, he made his senior debut as a sub v Newcastle Benfield on 19 September.

After several further cameo appearances off the bench, he was given his first start in April 2021 in the Durham Challenge Cup game at Birtley Town.

An unused sub in the FA Vase final at Wembley, he will be looking to push on and start more games this season to show off his undoubted talents.
