Club career

Daniels joined West Bromwich Albion in 2009 from Reading and quickly made himself a regular in Albion's FA Premier Academy League Under-18s side before moving into the Under-21s and captaining them.[4] Developing through the academy, Daniels was awarded with first professional contract, which keep him until 2013.[4] Not only that, Daniels ended up being awarded the Baggies’ 2011–12 Young Player of the Year Award.[5]

After his loan spell at West Brom came to an end, the club opted to take up their option of a contract extension on Daniels to stay for another season.[6] After Daniels skippered Albion to victory in the Birmingham Senior Cup final against Tamworth in 2014,[7] the club, again, opted to take up their option of a contract extension on Daniels to stay for another season.[8] Daniels had his contract extended for another season.[9]

In the 2012–13 season, Daniels joined Tranmere Rovers on 22 November 2012, on loan.[10] He made his debut on 21 December, in a heavy 5–0 defeat away to Swindon Town.[11] His five appearances with Tranmere Rovers led Daniels to have a loan extension for further month, before it was extended until the end of the season.[12][13] On 19 February 2013, he scored his first senior goal, in a 3–1 defeat against Swindon.[14] After making thirteen appearances and scoring once, Daniels returned to his parent club after being recalled.[15]

On 25 November 2013, Daniels joined Gillingham on loan until 3 January 2014[16] and he played the following evening against Stevenage, where he scored in the 52nd minute on his debut in a 3–2 home victory for Gillingham.[17] After making three appearances and scoring once, Daniels returned to his parent club.[18]

On 1 August 2014, he joined Blackpool on a 28-day youth loan.[19] He made his debut for the club on 9 August, losing 2–0 to Nottingham Forest in the opening game of the season.[20] Daniels loan spell with Blackpool was soon extended until 2 January 2015.[21]

In November 2014, Blackpool were fined £30,000 for playing Daniels after his youth loan had expired. He had played against Millwall on 30 August 2014.[22] Daniels then scored his first goal for the club on 18 October 2014, in a 4–2 loss against Huddersfield Town.[23] By the end of November, Daniels missed four matches over "rules prevent clubs naming more than five loan players in their team".[24] Daniels made his return on his last appearance on 26 December 2014, in a 1–0 loss against Sheffield Wednesday.[25] The loan spell came to an end in December.[26]

On 27 January 2015 he joined Aberdeen on loan until the end of the season.[27] He scored on his debut for Aberdeen on 31 January 2015, against Dundee United in the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup, but Aberdeen went on to lose the match 2–1.[28] Daniels went on to make nine appearances for the club.

edit

On 24 January 2022, Daniels left Crewe Alexandra by mutual consent[41] to sign for EFL League Two side Walsall on a five-month deal.[42] He made his debut for the club the next day, starting in the 2–1 home defeat against Bradford City.[citation needed] He scored his first goal on the 5 March 2022 in a 1–1 with Barrow and signed a new contract until the summer of 2023 on 29 April.

In October 2019, he received a call-up to represent Montserrat in their 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League B games against El Salvador and the Dominican Republic, but declined the offer in order to focus on his recovery from injury.[45]

Daniels played for Montserrat in their FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifier against US Virgin Islands on 2 June 2021, a match Montserrat won 4–0.[46] He was then called up for Montserrat's CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification game against Trinidad and Tobago on 2 July 2021,[47] but did not play. He was called up again in November 2023 for the CONCACAF Nations League for matches against the Dominican Republic and Barbados; he captained the side against the Dominican Republic and scored his first international goal against Barbados as Montserrat won both.[48]
