A confident defender posing an aerial threat in both boxes, Dan Quick was a crucial player for Paddy McCarthy’s Under-18s as they fought for the Premier League South title. Scoring three times and assisting once, he was also a stalwart at the back against fellow Category 1 opposition.
Naming Sergio Ramos as his defensive idol, Quick is confident on the ball and able to play out from the back, always keen to get on the scoresheet from set-pieces but even more determined to keep a clean-sheet.
He has revealed how the coaching of former centre-backs Paddy McCarthy and Darren Powell has been a great help during his time at Palace, not only on the field but in setting the standards off it.
