Daniel Amos (born 22 December 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a left-back for National League club Grimsby Town.

Amos has previously represented Northern Ireland at under-19 and under-21 level. He began his career at Doncaster Rovers, turning professional in 2017. He spent time on loan at Buxton and Hartlepool United, before signing a short-term contract with Port Vale in September 2021 after being released by Doncaster. He joined Grimsby Town in January 2022.

Club career[]

Doncaster Rovers[]

Amos came through the Doncaster Rovers youth team, and made his senior debut on 30 August 2016, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for Matty Blair in a 2–0 win at Mansfield Town in an EFL Trophy group stage game.[4] He signed his first professional contract in November 2017, keeping him at the club until summer 2019.[5] On 2 February 2018, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Buxton on a one-month loan.[6] Doncaster's under-18 coach Paul Stancliffe said that "getting that experience is what will help him develop".[7] After the loan spell ended, Amos said that "I played every game whilst I was there, and I scored in a derby in my last game which was great".[8]

He made his League One debut on 28 April 2018, playing the full 90 minutes of a 0–0 draw at Oldham Athletic.[9] Manager Darren Ferguson said that "his display was the most pleasing thing to take away from it".[10] He played four matches for "Donny" in the 2017–18 season and was handed the club's Young Player of the Year award.[11] He came on as a second-half substitute on the opening day of the 2018–19 season and said that "I am hoping to get a few starts this season".[12] However he and Branden Horton had to compete with Danny Andrew for the left-back position, who went on to start every league game of the campaign.[13][14] Nevertheless, Rovers exercised an option to extend Amos's contract until summer 2020.[15]

On 8 January 2019, Amos joined National League club Hartlepool United on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[16] Doncaster boss Grant McCann said that "Richard Money is a good, experienced manager and I'm sure he'll get the best out of Danny. It's a win-win for all parties."[17] Money believed that Amos's arrival would allow him to move Mark Kitching up to midfield.[18] Amos made his "Pools" debut four days later, in a 2–1 FA Trophy defeat to AFC Telford United at Victoria Park, after which Money said that "I thought he was our best player".[19] Amos stated that the loan spell, which saw him feature mainly as a left wing-back in eight games, meant that "I had to make my own way up to Hartlepool everyday, it was a big task for me which helped me mature and take on more responsibility".[2][20][21] Hartlepool manager Craig Hignett ruled out a move to sign Amos in the summer as he felt Doncaster were keen to keep hold of the young left-back.[22]

Speaking in October 2019, Amos said that new manager Darren Moore "really trusts everyone to do well in the team and I think that's good for players like myself... that's a massive boost".[23] On 9 November, he was voted as man of the match for his performance in a 1–1 draw at AFC Wimbledon in the first round of the FA Cup after he provided an assist for Tom Anderson's goal; he was put in the starting line-up after Reece James was ruled out due to illness.[24][25][26] Amos started his first league game of the 2019–20 campaign on 20 February following an injury to James.[27] He signed a new one-year deal in July 2020.[28]

Amos made his first league start of the 2020–21 campaign in a 1–0 win over Lincoln City at the Keepmoat Stadium on 31 October.[29] He played the final ten minutes of the club's victory over Championship side Blackburn Rovers in the second round of the FA Cup, which set up a third round tie at West Ham United.[30] He played the last eleven minutes of what would finish as a 4–0 defeat at the London Stadium.[31] He ended the campaign with 13 appearances to his name.[32] Doncaster published their retained list on 14 May 2021 and it was revealed that Amos would be released upon the expiry of his contract on 30 June.[33]

Port Vale[]

On 3 September 2021, Amos signed a short-term contract with League Two side Port Vale until January 2022 after impressing manager Darrell Clarke on a two week trial.[34][35] He featured in three EFL Trophy games but failed to dislodge first-team regulars James Gibbons and Dan Jones down the left side and departed the club following the expiry of his contract on 7 January 2022.[36][37]

Grimsby Town[]

On 13 January 2022, Amos signed for National League side Grimsby Town on a deal until the end of the 2021–22 season; manager Paul Hurst said that it was important that the "Mariners" provide competition for Adam Crookes at left-back after Sebastian Revan's loan spell ended.[38]

International career[]

Amos was born in Sheffield, England, but became eligible to represent Northern Ireland as his mother came from Belfast.[39] On 29 September 2017, manager Stephen Frail called up Amos to the Northern Ireland under-19 squad for upcoming matches against Poland, Germany and Belarus.[40] He made his debut the opening match against Poland, scoring his side's only goal as they were defeated 2–1 at Stadion Miejski on 4 October.[41] He also played the game against Belarus and Amos said that "we finished third in the table so didn't go through, but scoring in an international and playing in a 55,000 seater stadium was some experience".[42] He was called up to the Northern Ireland under-21 team for the second time in October 2018, having previously been unable to play after picking up an injury following his first call up.[43] He was called up by manager Ian Baraclough for a third time in March 2019 and finally made his under-21 debut in a 1–0 friendly win against Bulgaria in Spain on 22 March.[44][45] He played five games in the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification campaign.[2]

Style of play[]

Amos is a left-back who can also play at wing-back.[46] A left-footed player, he has good self-belief and composure.[47][48]
