After deciding late that he wanted a career in sports journalism, Daniel worked his way up the ladder in an unconventional manner.
Having opted against university, Daniel worked with Sky Sports as a freelance contributor and translator during transfer windows while also volunteering on several other blog pages and outlets to get a portfolio of content together.
Daniel then worked with Barnet FC as part of their social media team before, starting his own website which focused on football and MMA content.
That eventually led to work with 90min and Reach PLC with The Mirror, Daily Record, Daily Express, and Manchester Evening News.
Following that, Daniel spent two-and-a-half years with Breaking Media covering Everton, Rangers, Leeds, West Ham and other clubs before joining GIVEMESPORT as a Premier League editor.
As well as football, Daniel is a huge MMA fan and has appeared on YouTube and podcast content too.

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt another blow after a highly sought-after candidate for a senior role at the club rejected their approach, according to Miguel Delaney.
Spurs have had a nightmare campaign and after losing sporting director Fabio Paratici just months after his return as he moved back to Serie A, the club were then forced to sack Thomas Frank with the team in a relegation battle, where they now sit just one point above the drop zone following just one win in seven under interim boss Igor Tudor. But while the search for another new manager this season continues, with Tudor expected to leave imminently, the club are also looking for a new sporting director, but have been turned down by their first-choice option for the role.
Tottenham Rejected by Dougie Freedman
Dougie Freedman departed Crystal Palace to move to Saudi Arabia with Al-Diriyah a little over a year ago, with his big reputation preceding him in England.
Now, Spurs have been keen to bring the 51-year-old back to the Premier League to lead their recruitment team and take over from Paratici, with contact made between the club and Freedman earlier this month.

However, with the club battling against relegation and floating in the uncertainty of consortia looking to take over from the Lewis Family, it has now emerged that Freedman has opted against a return to London and will instead stay in Saudi Arabia. Now, Spurs will be forced to start looking elsewhere as they plan to replace Paratici, although their hunt may now wait until the summer when their Premier League status has either been confirmed or lost.
Tottenham Must Appoint Wisely
Some of the decisions at Tottenham in recent years have been questionable, but the last 12 months in particular have been really bad. Thomas Frank was a questionable managerial appointment considering his style of play and lack of experience at the top level. The club then decided to bring Paratici back just for him to walk out months later, then Frank was replaced by Igor Tudor, which has been a total disaster. Now, the decision makers can't afford to get it wrong yet again, and with Freedman turning them down, it's clearly a tough sell for them. GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT who Tottenham should consider appointing since the latest blow, and this was its response:
Tim Steidten – Strong recruitment track record; data-driven, suits long-term squad building.
Paul Mitchell – Premier League experience, elite talent ID, Spurs familiarity.
Luis Campos – Proven at top clubs; excels in uncovering high-upside attackers.
