[edit]Daniels joined West Bromwich Albion in 2009 from Reading and quickly made himself a regular in Albion's FA Premier Academy League Under-18s side before moving into the Under-21s and captaining them.[4] Developing through the academy, Daniels was awarded with first professional contract, which keep him until 2013.[4] Not only that, Daniels ended up being awarded the Baggies’ 2011–12 Young Player of the Year Award.[5]
After his loan spell at West Brom came to an end, the club opted to take up their option of a contract extension on Daniels to stay for another season.[6] After Daniels skippered Albion to victory in the Birmingham Senior Cup final against Tamworth in 2014,[7] the club, again, opted to take up their option of a contract extension on Daniels to stay for another season.[8] Daniels had his contract extended for another season.[9]
In the 2012–13 season, Daniels joined Tranmere Rovers on 22 November 2012, on loan.[10] He made his debut on 21 December, in a heavy 5–0 defeat away to Swindon Town.[11] His five appearances with Tranmere Rovers led Daniels to have a loan extension for further month, before it was extended until the end of the season.[12][13] On 19 February 2013, he scored his first senior goal, in a 3–1 defeat against Swindon.[14] After making thirteen appearances and scoring once, Daniels returned to his parent club after being recalled.[15]
On 25 November 2013, Daniels joined Gillingham on loan until 3 January 2014[16] and he played the following evening against Stevenage, where he scored in the 52nd minute on his debut in a 3–2 home victory for Gillingham.[17] After making three appearances and scoring once, Daniels returned to his parent club.[18]
On 1 August 2014, he joined Blackpool on a 28-day youth loan.[19] He made his debut for the club on 9 August, losing 2–0 to Nottingham Forest in the opening game of the season.[20] Daniels loan spell with Blackpool was soon extended until 2 January 2015.[21]
In November 2014, Blackpool were fined £30,000 for playing Daniels after his youth loan had expired. He had played against Millwall on 30 August 2014.[22] Daniels then scored his first goal for the club on 18 October 2014, in a 4–2 loss against Huddersfield Town.[23] By the end of November, Daniels missed four matches over "rules prevent clubs naming more than five loan players in their team".[24] Daniels made his return on his last appearance on 26 December 2014, in a 1–0 loss against Sheffield Wednesday.[25] The loan spell came to an end in December.[26]
On 27 January 2015 he joined Aberdeen on loan until the end of the season.[27] He scored on his debut for Aberdeen on 31 January 2015, against Dundee United in the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup, but Aberdeen went on to lose the match 2–1.[28] Daniels went on to make nine appearances for the club.
