Career
Club
A product of the Toronto FC Academy, he was rewarded with a loan to affiliate club Toronto FC II ahead of the 2016 USL season. Having already been capped internationally while playing for the Academy, Daniels made his professional debut in the season opener on March 26, 2016. He played for 78 minutes in a 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls II, before being replaced by Malik Johnson.[2] Signed to a USL contract on 8 July, 2016.[3]
International
Daniels also qualifies to represent South Africa or the Philippines at senior level as his father hails from Johannesburg and his mother from Manila.[1] After call-ups to the Canada Under-15 camps in USA and Laval in 2013, Daniels finally made his international debut in 2015. He made two appearances at the Under-17 CONCACAF Championship, the first coming in a 3-1 victory over Saint Lucia on March 9, 2015. His next appearance came just three days later in a 1-0 defeat to Panama.[1]
In February 2017, Daniels was named to Canada's roster for the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship[4]
