A graduate of Gillingham's Centre of Excellence, Danny signed professional forms in 2000, making his senior debut as a second-half sub, away to Bradford City in September 2001.

He became a first team regular soon after and enjoyed a run of sparkling form in 2003/04, scoring six times in 43 first team appearances, before deservedly being named the Gills' Player of the Season.

Inevitably, his attacking displays brought interest from other clubs with West Ham rumoured to be leading the chase for his signature, at one point. Danny went on to make 138 appearances in all competitions for the Gills before opting to join Millwall on a free transfer in the summer of 2007.

Sadly his time at the New Den was blighted by injury with Spills managing just ten outings in two seasons with the Lions. Released last summer, Danny had brief spells with Wycombe, Welling United and Dagenham & Redbridge in 2009/10 before returning to Priestfield last summer.

He impressed Manager Andy Hessenthaler during a pre-season trial and put pen to paper on a five month contract to take him through to January. He made a fine start to his second spell, scoring twice in the Gills first five League fixtures and earning the August Player of the Month award.

Danny's strong start to the campaign was rewarded when he signed a new 18-month contract in December 2010. Unfortunately the livewire midfielder badly fractured his fingers in the January defeat to Chesterfield which sidelined him for much of the remainder of the season.

Spills came back with a bang at the start of 2011/12, scoring in the Gills 2-1 away triumph at Crewe and again three days in the 2-2 draw at Barnet.
