It was confirmed in May 2018 that young lock Danny was joining the Cornish Pirates.
Educated at Beaumont School, St. Albans, Danny represented Hertfordshire through the age groups and played for England U17s. He became a Saracens Academy member, whilst he has also played for ‘Sarries’ both in the Anglo-Welsh Cup and the ‘A’ league.
During the 2017/18 season Danny, who is a keen student of line-out play – and is also a Arsenal supporter, spent time on loan at his boyhood club Old Albanians.
When Danny signed for the Cornish Pirates, co-coach Alan Paver said the cub was really excited to be signing yet another young prospect who clearly had very good tutelage during his time at Saracens.
As for his first season in Cornwall, in making a total of 22 appearances Danny displayed and excellent attitude, did well in the contact area and proved quite a handful in the line-out. He was also a good personality around the team, and with more to come is one to watch for the future.
