Daniel Mills Pappoe (born 30 December 1993) is a footballer who plays as a defender for the development squad of Brighton & Hove Albion. Pappoe previously played for Chelsea and Colchester United.
Club career
Born in Accra, Ghana, Pappoe grew up in the Deptford area of south east London, joining Chelsea as a schoolboy at under-12 level. He featured for the Chelsea reserves during the 2009–10 season while still studying at school, and was an important member of the FA Youth Cup-winning squad of 2010, though he missed the final through injury.[4]
Pappoe captained the 2010–11 FA Youth Cup side, but missed the end of the campaign through injury, additionally playing nine reserve games, but was sent off against Blackpool after lashing out at an opponent. Pappoe missed the start of the 2011–12 season with injuries, returning in early 2012, only to suffer another serious injury, where he was ruled out for the remainder of the season. He returned to action with the youth and reserve teams part-way through the 2012–13 season, and featured in the semi-final and final of the 2012–13 NextGen Series, where the Blues finished as runners-up to Aston Villa.[4]
Yet to make his Chelsea first-team debut, Pappoe signed on loan with League One club Colchester United on 16 July 2013, teaming-up with fellow Chelsea youth-team product Sam Walker in his second loan-spell with the U's.[5] He made his professional debut as an 86th-minute substitute for Alex Gilbey in a 2–2 draw with Bradford City on 14 September. However, just four minutes after coming on, he was given a red card for a tackle on former Colchester player Mark Yeates,[6] becoming the seventh United player to be sent off on their debut.[7] On 31 October 2013, Pappoe's loan at Colchester was terminated due to his opportunities being limited.[8]
On 4 August 2014, Pappoe along with former Chelsea team-mate George Cole joined the development squad of Brighton & Hove Albion signing a one-year deal.[9]
International career
In 2013, he represented Ghana U20 in the four-team Valais Youth Cup. He played in games versus Kosovo (in their first FIFA recognised match) and Brazil. He was initially named in the FIFA U-20 World Cup squad but was later replaced with Israel-based Baba Mensah.[10]
