Danielle Josephine "Dani" Buet (born 31 October 1988) is an English female international footballer. She plays her club football for FA WSL club Chelsea Ladies where she is a midfielder.

Club career

Buet joined Chelsea from Arsenal Ladies in 2007. This was due to a lack of first team chances and the club not giving her a UEFA Women's Cup medal despite taking part in the tournament.[3] She scored twice on her Chelsea debut, a 9–1 win over Crewe Alexandra in the FA Women's Premier League Cup.[4]

In October 2008 she was named FA Women's Premier League Player of the Month for September.[5] That season Buet and Chelsea suffered the disappointment of a shock FA Women's Cup semi-final defeat to Northern Division Sunderland.[6]

International career

Buet played for England at Under-17[7] and Under-19 level[8] and was a member of the victorious Under-19 European Championship side. She made her senior debut in March 2009, against South Africa, as a second-half substitute for Emily Westwood,[9] having received her first call-up to the senior squad the previous September.[10] Her first senior start came the same month in the 3–0 win against Scotland.[11] In August 2009 she was named in coach Hope Powell's squad for Euro 2009.[12]

Personal life

Buet attended St. Simon Stock Catholic School in Maidstone, followed by Loughborough University on the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme.[13]
