Capable of playing as a centre-back or in defensive midfield, Danaher has progressed through the ranks playing in both positions.
He was a part of the Under-15s side which won the U15 National Floodlit Cup against Stoke City, in which he opened the scoring. He was also part of the side which beat Arsenal 5-0 in the regional final.
Danaher earned his scholarship in July 2024 and made his first appearance for the Under-18s in August 2024 against Birmingham City.
His first U18s start came in a 1-1 draw against Leicester City in October 2024. His first goals for the U18s came in April 2025, where he scored a brilliant brace to secure all three points against West Bromwich Albion.
Danaher concluded his first year as a scholar with 19 appearances for the U18s, with those two aforementioned goals and an assist.
In the 2025/26 campaign, Danaher developed into a trusted figure in Javier Alonso’s Under-18 side, increasingly operating as the metronome in midfield. His role evolved into controlling tempo, recycling possession and stepping into midfield areas to recover the ball and initiate attacks.
Consistently involved in both defensive and attacking phases, he became a key presence in a side that went on to lift the club’s first-ever U18 Premier League Cup and reach the FA Youth Cup semi-finals for the first time in nearly 30 years.
He made 29 appearances across the season, registering four assists, before an injury ruled him out of the closing stages of the campaign.
