Dan played youth soccer at Scunthorpe United’s Centre of Excellence before moving to Canada and joining the Abbotsford Soccer Association. During his time with Abbotsford he was coached by ex Whitecaps & Team Canada interim coach Colin Miller where he won the “A” Coastal Cup. Also with Abbotsford, Dan played in the Super Y-League finals in Tampa, Florida after winning the Pacific Northwest Division. 

Dan has continued playing as an adult for both Westcoast and Mission clubs, and he currently runs our Men’s Div 2 team. He has had the opportunity to play on the FVSL All Star Team and take part in the Nation’s Cup tournament.

Dan is currently awaiting the chance to take his C-License course, which he hopes to do in the summer of 2021.

My goal is to create a competitive learning environment for all Mission Soccer Club players to grow their love of the game. Currently I am in the CSA National B program where I intend to take in as much information as I can to help Mission Soccer Club players to improve and get opportunities at the next level.
