Another player gone into the football league..... Showed early promise but never kicked on as much as everybody hoped...... Best of luck to him- full time training may be the catalyst for him to step up his game!!

Yeah good luck to him, how old is he? Am I right in thinking we'll get a compo fee for him?

I think this will be one division too high for him; but good luck.

A previous post suggested we would be due a compensation fee for him, although not sure if this is shared with Histon?
I heard that they had a 'sell-on' clause. I'm not sure if that entitles them to monies from a compensation fee, or if it only applies for a normal sale.
Anyway, I wish him well, thank him for the goals, and hope that Full Time training will help. I imagine he won't see a lot of 1st Team football for a while though.

Compensation fee will not be coming to Braintree as Dan was 1 month over the Bosman ruling date. 24 in June signed for Colchester in July so we don't get anything.
Good Luck to Dan. Always remember his 1st game for the Iron away to WOKING(Great Goal's looked a world beater.)

When we signed him I went to the Histon forum and they were forecasting Dan would net 20 a season. Didn't get anywhere near it.

Never really fulfilled his potential with us though with full time training n if he gets a fair chance at col u then you never know. Doesn't seem a massive loss for us when you consider who devs has brought in though

Came on as a 2nd half sub for Colchester on saturday at Brantham. Scored a goal within 10 min's in Colchester 0-4 away win. Most of Colchester's 1st team played.

Have to say I was surprised when Colchester signed him especially as he wasn,t offered a contract at Southend.
Unfortunately for him he wants full time football, but he is IMO a Conference Premier level player at best.
Be interesting to see where he goes out on loan. Eastleigh perhaps!!!

Dan's gone to Wrexham on loan. I wonder if he'll play on the 15th November?

Another 3 mins to the collection from the weekend !! Maybe with Moults sending off he may now get a game .

apparently had a good debut. their official twitter account said he produced a couple of great saves from the oppo keeper, and had a big hand in both their goals.
