In May 2008, Danks joined Halesowen Town.[11]

In February 2009, Danks joined Conference North side Telford United on a contract until the end of the season.[12] He scored a penalty in the Conference League Cup final against his former club, Forest Green, as Telford won the final 3–0 on penalties.[13][14]
