Daniel Richard "Danny" Green (born 9 July 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right winger for League Two club Luton Town.

Career

Early career

Green started his career as a youth player for Charlton Athletic before being released at the age of 15. Green then signed for Northampton Town, earning his first professional contract, but moved to Nottingham Forest a year later. In 2008, Green was released by Nottingham Forest and signed for Conference South club Bishop's Stortford.[3]

Dagenham & Redbridge

In May 2009, Green signed for League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge on a free transfer.[4][5] Green made his debut for the club in a 2–1 win away to Crewe Alexandra on 8 August 2009.[6] He was replaced in the 75th-minute by substitute Wes Thomas.[6] He scored 14 goals from midfield,[7] including one at Wembley Stadium to help Dagenham to promotion to League One via the play-offs.[8] On 25 July 2010, he and team-mate Scott Doe committed themselves to Dagenham by signing new three-year contracts.[9] Dagenham were relegated back to League Two the following season, but Green was one of the club's stand-out performers, scoring 11 goals in the league and two in the FA Cup.[10]

Charlton Athletic

On 29 June 2011, Green was signed by his former youth club Charlton Athletic for a fee of £350,000, signing a three-year contract.[11][12] He helped Charlton win the League One title, thus gaining promotion to the Championship in his first season, making 32 appearances, scoring three goals.[13][14] Green thereafter struggled to hold down a first-team position. On 2 September 2013, Green agreed a six-week loan deal with Milton Keynes Dons.[15] On 22 May 2014, he was released from Charlton Athletic after making 74 first-team appearances for the club.[16]

Milton Keynes Dons

One day later, Green returned to Milton Keynes Dons, signing a two-year contract.[17] He made 18 appearances and scored twice in all competitions during the 2014–15 season,[18] as Milton Keynes Dons won promotion to the Championship.[19]

On 3 July 2015, Milton Keynes Dons agreed to cancel Green's contract a year early.[20]

Luton Town

A day after his release by Milton Keynes Dons, Green signed a two-year contract with League Two club Luton Town, linking back up with manager John Still who had first signed him from Bishop's Stortford in 2009.[21]

Green made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw with Accrington Stanley on 8 August 2015.[22] He scored his first goals for Luton in consecutive games, opening the scoring in a 2–1 win at home to Leyton Orient in the Football League Trophy on 1 September 2015,[23] before netting the final goal in a 3–1 win away to Cambridge United four days later.[24] His next goal came over two months later, opening the scoring in a 2–0 win at home to Barnet on 14 November 2015, assisted by Josh McQuoid.[25] Green added a further goal to his tally ten days later, scoring a volley from 20 yards in a 4–3 defeat at home to Carlisle United.[26] On 12 December 2015, he netted a penalty kick after a foul on Craig Mackail-Smith in another 4–3 defeat, on this occasion at home to Northampton Town.[27] Green scored a second goal in as many games when he slammed a first-time shot through Exeter City goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik in a 3–2 away win one week later.[28] On 30 April 2016, Green suffered a double leg break during a 2–0 defeat away to Northampton Town and would miss the final game of the season.[29][30] He made a total of 30 appearances in all competitions during the 2015–16 season, scoring six goals.[31]
