Daniel Church, born on 21 July 2000 (age 25), is a Scottish left back who came through at Celtic before building his senior career elsewhere.
His Celtic connection was at trainee level rather than first-team level, and he moved on in November 2020 when he joined Dumbarton. That was the point where his career properly shifted into senior football, away from the quieter margins of development football.
After Dumbarton, Church had spells with Alloa Athletic and Queen of the South. His career has been shaped in Scotland’s lower divisions, with regular football rather than any great fuss around him.
Church’s path is a straightforward one: developed at Celtic, moved on to Dumbarton, then continued through Alloa and Queen of the South as a left back trying to establish himself in the senior game.
