The tricky Middlesbrough youngster featured in the Club's FA Youth Cup run last season which was halted by Manchester United in the Final.

Danny subsequently made his England debut against the USA in the International U17 Tournament in partnership with Pepsi earlier this month. Though he claims he was nervous, he looked very relaxed as he gave the Three Lions an attacking lift and almost grabbed a fine equaliser, only to see he deft flick strike the post.
