Danny Schofield (born April 10, 1980 in Doncaster) is a professional footballer who plays for Yeovil Town in Football League One.
[edit] Career
Schofield was signed by Huddersfield Town from Brodsworth Welfare for a fee of £2,000 in 1998. Although Schofield made his debut in the 1998–99 season against Crewe Alexandra, his first full season in the team came in the 2001–02 season when he found the net 11 times operating as a striker, since then he had been playing as an attacking right sided midfielder until recently he has moved to the left side of midfield (he can still be seen swapping flanks during the game).
Schofield is considered one of the most talented players outside of the Premiership,[citation needed] however Huddersfield fans would say that his form is not consistent enough, which would be more than likely the reason why he does occasionally lose his place in the team. On his day he does possess enough flair and skill to be able to take on any defender he comes up against, as well as being able to score spectacular goals. Following a family bereavement due his brother's death, he was forced to miss three league games.
On February 28, 2008, it was revealed on Huddersfield Town's official website that Danny had requested a move away from the club. Boss Andy Ritchie explained his name had been circulated with a view to either a loan switch or permanent deal at the end of the season. Yeovil Town are the favorites to capture his signature, although Chesterfield and Rotherham United have also shown an interest in the midfielder. On April 26, 2008, he scored on his last home game for Huddersfield Town against Walsall. Town won the game 2–0.
The day after being officially released by Huddersfield Town, he agreed to join Yeovil Town, with effect from 1 July 2008.[1]
