Dan Neil is an English central defensive midfielder, born on 30 November 2001 (age 24). His senior career has been shaped far more by Sunderland than by anywhere else, with 134 league appearances and eight league goals across four seasons there.
At Sunderland, Neil became a regular rather than a passing squad name. His most productive league campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored four times in 42 appearances, a decent return for a player operating from deeper areas.
He is now with Rangers, where his 2026-27 campaign has brought 10 appearances and two goals in all competitions. Both goals came in the League Cup, while he has also featured in league matches and European qualifiers.
Neil’s career to this point is a Sunderland-heavy one, followed by a move into the more awkward glare of Glasgow. He remains an established first-team midfielder, with his Rangers spell still at an early stage.
