Danny joined Glentoran during the 1961–62 season, making eight league appearances and scoring three goals. During his time at The Oval, he was part of the Glens side that lifted the Irish Intermediate Cup.

Tributes have since been paid from across the football community, reflecting the regard in which Danny was held and the impact he made on the game.
