Dan Barlaser (born 18 January 1997, age 29) is an English central defensive midfielder with MK Dons. He is valued at around £1m by Transfermarkt, which feels about right for an experienced League One midfielder rather than anyone in need of a drum roll.
His strongest league season came with Rotherham United in 2020–21, when he scored three goals in 33 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his productivity: a holding midfielder capable of contributing a little further up the pitch, but not one whose game is built around numbers.
By 2026–27, Barlaser was with MK Dons, making eight League One appearances and one League Cup appearance, nine in all competitions. His career has settled into the shape of a steady English lower-league midfielder, with Rotherham providing the most substantial spell and MK Dons his current platform.
