Brakes debut: 13/01/18 @ Southport - National League North - Lost 2-0

Appearances (2017/18): 17 starts 

Goals: 5

 

Daniel Udoh was signed on loan from Crewe Alexandra by Paul Holleran in January 2018 to cover for the unfortunate loss of Colby Bishop. He scored twice on his home debut, a 3-0 win over Gainsborough Trinity, notching five goals in his 17 games for the club as his loan was extended to the end of the season. His goalscoring attracted the attention of our National League North rivals AFC Telford United, and after signing for the Bucks following his release from Crewe Daniel enjoyed a goal filled season which ultimately earned him a move back into the Football League just up the A5 at Shrewsbury Town. 

Born in Nigeria, Daniel moved to England with his family at the age of 9, and spent time in the Youth system at Luton Town and Stevenage. He was also called up to play for the Nigeria Under 17 side.

Daniel has turned out for the likes of Kidderminster Harriers and Worcester City, but it was at Ilkeston that his form came to the attention of Crewe, who signed him on a two year contract. He quickly made his debut for the first team and scored his first goal early in the following campaign. Also during 2017/18 he spent a successful loan spell at Halesowen Town where he scored 7 goals, including two in a Black Country derby win against Stourbridge. He also spent time at Chester FC.
