Dan Happe, born on 28 September 1998 (age 27), is an English central defender now with Aberdeen, where he wears squad number 26. At 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is an imposing presence, which is useful enough in his line of work.
His career is shaped most clearly by Leyton Orient. He made 43 league appearances across three seasons there, first appearing in the league in 2016-17, when he played twice. It is the spell that gives his senior career its substance, rather than a passing stop on the way elsewhere.
At Aberdeen in 2026-27, Happe has made four league appearances and five League Cup appearances, scoring once in that competition. Across all competitions for the club, he has played nine times and scored one goal.
Happe’s career to this point is a straightforward one: a defender largely associated with Leyton Orient, now trying to establish himself further at Aberdeen.
