With an angular, upright action, Danny is the latest bowling talent to progress through the CTCC youth system. He is also a capable batsman and, given the right tutalege, will eventually flourish into a genuine allrounder.

Danny's rise culminated with a regular First Team berth in 2011 - a move that surprised many at the club. Despite his lack of overs, Danny performed exceptionally as Liam Wood's side recovered from their poor start to the Premier Division campaign.

A rugby union star in the making - Danny's availability in 2012 will depend on his worth to Bishop Burton, and the Leicester Tigers Academy.
