Club career

edit

Stockport County

edit

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Daly started his football career at Irish amateur side Cherry Orchard, before signing for Stockport County when he was fifteen years old in May 1998.[3][4] When Daly first started at the club, he made an immediate impact scoring regularly for the youth and reserve team.[5] On 2 October 1999, Daly then made his professional football debut against Walsall and become Stockport County's second youngest player when he came off the bench, in a 2–1 win.[6][7] He went on to make three appearances for the club, all coming on as a substitute in the 1999–00 season.

Daly began to make an impression on manager Andy Kilner during Stockport City's pre-season tour of Scandinavia. After coming on a substitute against Landskrona BoIS, he impressed Kilner and the youngster was awarded with a start against Kristianstads,[8] in which he scored his first senior goal after "lobbing" the Kristianstad keeper.[9] Over the next two seasons, Daly appeared five times in the first team.[10] On 30 October 2001, he made his first team return in over a year, coming on as a 78th minute substitute, in a 2–0 lost against Walsall.[11] On 16 January 2002, Daly scored his first senior goal in his professional career against Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup, as the club loss 4–1.[12] Shortly after, he received a four match suspension for an "unprofessional conduct" during the match for Stockport City’s reserve team.[13] On 26 February 2002, Daly made his return to the first team from suspension, starting the whole game, in a 3–1 loss against Grimsby Town.[14] On 9 March 2002, however, he was sent off in the 64th minute for elbowing Mitchell Thomas, in a 2–0 loss against Burnley.[15] On 16 March 2002, Daly scored on his return from a one match suspension following a successful appeal, in a 3–1 loss against Wimbledon, resulting in Stockport County’s relegation.[16] At the end of the 2001–02 season, Daly went on to make fourteen appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

By the start of the 2002–03 season, Daly was regarded as one of Division 2's most promising strikers by the BBC Sport.[17] He began to play more regularly in the first team for Stockport County and formed a striking partnership with Aaron Wilbraham.[18] On 1 October 2002, Daly scored his first goal of the season for the club, in a 2–1 loss against Gillingham.[19] He added two more goals by the end of October, scoring against Luton Town and Crewe Alexandra.[20] Daly then scored two goals in two league matches between 8 February 2003 and 15 February 2003 against Cheltenham Town and Oldham Athletic.[21] On 12 April 2003, he scored a winning goal from a penalty, in a 2–1 win against Plymouth Argyle and was named the Nationwide Second Division Team of the Week.[22] Despite being out with injuries, Daly ended his 2002–03 season, appearing in 35 of Stockport's 46 league games and scoring seven goals.[23]

Ahead of the 2003–04 season, Daly suffered a freak accident when he "stepped out of a golf buggy on to a piece of wood at the golf course".[24][25] But Daly made a quick recovery.[26] During this season Stockport manager, Carlton Palmer, decided against naming a goalkeeper on the bench and revealed that he was planning to use Daly in net should their keeper get sent off or injured. However, this never occurred and he never made an appearance in net.[27] Daly continued to form a striking partnership with Wilbraham but he struggled to score goals regularly in the first half of the season.[28] Daly then spent away from Stockport County’s first team because of his international commitment, as well as, his own injury concern and suspension.[29][30] On 30 September 2003, he came on as a 71st minute substitute, only for him to receive a straight red card 11 minutes later, in a 2–0 loss against Oldham Athletic.[31][29] On 28 February 2004, Daly returned to the starting line–up following his recall from a loan spell at Bury, in a 1–1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.[32] Since returning to the club, he regained his first team place, forming a striking partnership with Rickie Lambert and Wilbraham.[33][34] On 16 March 2004, Daly then scored his first goal of the season for the club, in a 2–2 draw against Hartlepool United.[35] On 1 May 2004, he helped Stockport County avoid relegation in the Second Division after beating Bournemouth 2–0.[36] At the end of the 2003–04 season, Daly went on to make twenty–seven appearances and scoring three times in all competitions.[37]

At the start of the 2004–05 season, however, Daly suffered a knee injury that saw him miss the first two league matches.[38] On 21 August 2004, he returned from injury, coming on as a 79th minute substitute, in a 1–0 loss against Bradford City.[39] However, his return was short–lived when Daly suffered an illness that saw him miss for two matches.[40] On 25 September 2004, he returned from his illness, coming on as a late substitute, in a 0–0 draw against Hull City.[41] Daly scored his first goal of the season, in a follow–up match win against Bury in the first round of the EFL Trophy.[42] Shortly after his loan spell at Grimsby Town came to an end and had to serve a three match suspension, he returned to the first team for Stockport County against Swansea City in the second round of the FA Cup and helped the club drew 0–0 to earn a replay.[43] By the end of December, Daly scored three times for Stockport County, including a brace against Milton Keynes Dons on 18 December 2004.[44] Since returning to the first team, Daly received a first team run ins for the club until he left Stockport County in February 2005.[45] By the time Daly left the club, Daly made eighteen appearances and scoring four times in all competitions.

Loan Spells from Stockport County

edit

In January 2004, Daly joined Bury on a month's loan.[46] On 3 January 2004, he made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against Lincoln City.[47] In a follow–up match against Swansea City, Daly scored his first goal for Bury, in a 2–0 win.[48] He then became a first team regular for the club, starting in the next five matches.[33][49] Along the way, Daly’s loan spell with Bury was extended for another month.[50] On 21 February 2004, he received a red card for a second bookable offence, in a 1–1 draw against Oxford United, in what turns out to be his last appearance for the club.[51] Shortly after, Stockport County manager Sammy McIlroy recalled Daly back to his parent club.[52][53] By the time he returned to his parent club, Daly made seven appearances and scoring once in all competitions for Bury.

On 23 October 2004, Daly went on loan to Grimsby Town for a month.[54] On the same day, he scored on his debut for the club against Chester City, in a 2–1 loss.[55] On November 2004, however, Daly was sent off in the 37th minute for elbowing Ian Baraclough, in a 2–0 loss against Scunthorpe United, in what turns out to be his last appearance for Grimsby Town.[56] Shortly after, he returned to Stockport County.[57]

Hartlepool United

edit

On 4 February 2005, Daly signed for Hartlepool United for an undisclosed fee, which believed to be worth £30,000.[58] Upon joining the club, he felt it was the right time to leave Stockport County.[59]

On 15 February 2005, Daly made his Hartlepool United debut, starting a match and played 74 minutes before being substituted, in a 3–2 loss against Luton Town.[60] Since joining the club, he found himself competing in a striker position with Joel Porter, Eifion Williams and Adam Boyd.[61] On the last game of the season against Bournemouth, Daly scored his first goal for Hartlepool United and the game finished in a 2–2 draw, helping the club earn a play-off spot.[62] He played in both legs of the semi–final play–offs against Tranmere Rovers and helped Hartlepool United reach the final after the club win 6–5 in a penalty shootout following a 2–2 draw throughout 120 minutes.[63] In the League 1 Play-off Final against Sheffield Wednesday, Daly's most important goal came against the opposition team when he scored with his first touch after coming on as a substitute to put Hartlepool United in the lead, but the club would later end up losing that match, though the goal will be remembered as the goal that almost sent them into the Championship.[64] At the end of the 2004–05 season, Daly went on to make twelve appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2005–06 season, Daly found himself competing for the first team place in the striker position after Hartlepool United made new signings.[65] On 13 August 2005, he scored his first goal of the season, in a 1–0 win against Doncaster Rovers.[66] However, Daly suffered a hip injury that saw him miss two matches.[67] On 1 October 2005, he returned to the starting line–up from injury, in a 1–0 win against Bristol City.[68] Since returning to the first team from injury, Daly found his playing time, coming from the substitute bench and struggled to hold down a first team spot, along with his goal scoring form.[69] By the time he was loaned out to Bury in March, Daly went on to make thirty–three appearances and scoring four times in all competitions.[70]

Daly appeared once for Hartlepool United in the opening game of the 2006–07 season, but he was out throughout August, due to competing for the first team place in the striker position.[71] On 1 September 2006, Daly scored a winning goal on his return from injury, in a 2–1 win against Boston United.[72] Following this, he regained his first team place, playing in the striker position.[73] Daly cemented his place in the club’s record books with a remarkable scoring spree of seven goals in a week (three games), including his first hat-trick of his professional career against Wrexham on 30 September 2006.[74][75] For his performance, he was named September’s League Papers player of the month.[76] On 20 October 2006, Daly was sent–off in the 18th minute for "an innocuous challenge" on a foul on David Artell, in a 2–1 loss against Chester City.[77] But his suspension was rescinded after local newspaper The Northern Echo reported that "Tyne-Tees Television supplied enhanced footage of the incident which highlighted his innocence" and he was free to play in the next match.[78] On 26 December 2006, Daly scored his ninth goal of the season, in a 2–0 win against Grimsby Town after spending almost three months without scoring.[79] By the time he left Hartlepool United in January, Daly made twenty–three appearances and scoring nine times in all competitions.

Loan Spell at Bury

edit

On 17 March 2006, Daly joined Bury for the second time, on loan until the end of the season.[80] The following year, he scored on his second debut for the club, in a 2–1 loss against Grimsby Town.[81] Two weeks later on 1 April 2006, Daly scored the only goal of the game, in a 1–0 win against his former club, Stockport County.[82] During his second spell at Bury, he went on to make eleven appearances and scoring two times in all competitions. Following this, Daly returned to his parent club.

Dundee United

edit

On 5 January 2007, Daly was allowed to join Scottish Premier League side Dundee United on a two–year contract for an undisclosed fee.[83]

On 13 January 2007, he made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 5–0 loss against Rangers.[84] Since joining Dundee United, Daly became the club’s first choice striker but he struggled to score in the first two months there.[85] On 31 March 2007, Daly scored his first goal for Dundee United, in a 1–1 draw against the defending league champions Celtic.[86] After the match, Daly’s performance was praised by manager Craig Levein, describing him as "tireless up front and a lot of people don't see all the work he does."[87] However in early May 2007, Daly suffered a posterior cruciate ligament injury, ruling him out for around six months, which saw him miss the start of the 2007–08 season.[88] At the end of the 2006–07 season, he went on to make eleven appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.[89]

At the start of the 2007–08 season, Daly says he's making his return to Dundee United’s first team within the next six weeks.[90] By October, Daly made progress on his road to recovery and appeared four times as an unused substitute throughout the month.[91] On 10 November 2007, he made his first appearance of the season against Kilmarnock and played 88 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–0 win.[92] In a follow–up match, however, Daly suffered ankle injury in the 24th minutes and was substituted, in a 2–2 draw against Hibernian..[93] After the match, he was out for two months, with manager Levein’s expectations of his return would happen in the New Year.[94] However, the New Year has passed and Daly still recovering from his injury, eventually delaying his return to two months.[95] On 12 March 2008, he played his first match in five months, coming on as a 83rd minute substitute for Craig Conway, in a 0–0 draw against Celtic.[96] Since returning from injury, however, Daly found his playing time, coming from the substitute and often playing out of position and continued to struggle scoring goals for the rest of the season.[97] At the end of the 2007–08 season, he went on to make nine appearances in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Manager Levein said about Daiy’s return, saying "he had not have a chance to put together a run of games and bed down into the team" and "was impressed with his physical dimension to Dundee United’s attack", believing that he "would help the club flying when the new season kicks off."[98] On 26 August 2006, Daly scored his first hat-trick for Dundee United’s career, in a 5–0 win against Cowdenbeath in the second round of the Scottish League Cup.[99] After the match, Daly said he vowed to be a first team regular once again despite facing new competitions in the striker position.[100] By the end of the year, Daly scored five more goals, including a brace against St Mirren on 29 November 2008.[101] However, he suffered a groin injury that saw him miss three matches.[102] On 15 November 2008, Daly returned from injury, coming on as a 66th minute substitute, in a 2–0 loss against Kilmarnock.[103] Since returning from injury, Daly’s form dropped badly, due to his playing time coming from the substitute bench and often playing out of position, but he made several starts at times, forming a striking partnership with Francisco Sandaza.[104] On 23 December 2008, Daly signed a three-year contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2012.[105][106] On 4 April 2009, however, Daly injured both his anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments after he received a tackle from Chris Hogg and was substituted in the 5th minute of the game, in a 2–2 draw against Hibernian.[107] After the match, Daly was expected to be ruled out of action for "at least 12 months", although he was later expected to return "within half that timeframe".[108] In Dundee United’s first match since his absent, teammate Conway scored a goal, in a 1–0 win over Hamilton Academical on 11 April 2009 and said he dedicated his goal to Daly.[109] At the end of the 2008–09 season, he went on to make twenty–seven appearances and scoring nine times in all competitions.

The first three months to the 2009–10 season saw Daly continuing to recover from his injury.[110] By November, he made his return to training from injury.[111] On 22 November 2009, Daly made his first appearance of the season against Celtic when he came on as a 73rd minute substitute and scored an equalising goal, which Dundee United eventually won 2–1.[112] After the match, manager Levein praised Daly’s return, saying he was happier to be back and absolutely thrilled on the pitch after he has been out for seven or eight months and played 30 minutes of football.[113] This was followed up by scoring in a 2–2 draw against Motherwell.[114] Since returning to the first team in late November, Daly found himself alternating between a substitute bench and starting line–up role, forming a striking partnership with Sandaza or David Goodwillie.[115] His goal scoring form continued in January when he scored five goals in three league matches, including a hat-trick victory against Falkirk on 24 January 2010.[116] Daly added another six goals in four league between 20 March 2010 and 18 April 2010, including scoring two separate braces against Aberdeen and Motherwell.[117] After helping the club beat Raith Rovers in the semi–finals of the Scottish Cup final, he commented about Dundee United’s target is by winning the tournament to ensure the club’s qualification for the UEFA Europa League next season.[118] In the final against Ross County, Daly started the whole game when he helped Dundee United win 3–0 as champions, fulfilling his target for the club as promised.[119] At the end of the 2009–10 season, Daly went finished the season as Dundee United's top scorer with thirteen goals in twenty–nine appearances in all competitions.

Dundee United manager Peter Houston subsequently named Daly as the new Dundee United’s captain for the 2010–11 season.[120] In the opening game of the season, he scored his first goal of the season, in a 1–1 draw against St Mirren.[121] Daly made his European debut and started the whole game as captain, as the club lose 1–0 against Greek side AEK Athens in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League play–off round.[122] In the return leg, he scored his first European goal with an equaliser, in a 1–1 draw but it wasn’t enough for Dundee United, as the club loss 2–1 on aggregate.[123] Daly said while his goal couldn't save the Dundee United’s European campaign that could have seen the club play in the group stage, he felt their performances should have been much better.[124] On 17 October 2010, Daly suffered a head injury that "left him lying in a pool of blood and had stitches put in a three-inch gash above a painful black eye" but he kept on playing throughout the match, in a loss 2–1 against Celtic.[125] On 29 December 2010, Daly played in a centre–back position for the first time following the injury of first choice centre–back Garry Kenneth, and helped Dundee United drew 2–2 draw against Hibernian.[126] On 22 January 2011, however, he received a red card in the 65th minute when he "led with his elbow in an aerial battle with Conor Sammon", in a 1–1 draw against Kilmarnock on 22 January 2011.[127] On 30 January 2011, Daly scored on his return from a one match suspension, in a 3–0 win against Hibernian.[128] This was followed up by scoring in a 3–1 win against Hamilton Academical in the last 16 of the Scottish Cup.[129] However, his return was short–lived when he suffered a hernia injury that expected him to be out until April.[130] On 10 March 2011, Daly returned from injury, coming on as a 74th minute substitute, and scored a last minute winner, in a 2–1 win against Hamilton Academical.[131] He also resumed playing in a centre–back position at times for the rest of the season.[132] He scored four more goals in the last three remaining matches of the season, including a hat-trick victory against Motherwell.[133] Despite the other injury concerns that Daly faced throughout the season,[134] he continued to form a striking partnership with Goodwillie, as well as, retaining his leadership as captain.[135] At the end of the 2010–11 season, Daly went on to make thirty–eight appearances and scoring twelve times in all competitions.

At the start of the 2011–12 season, Daly provided an assist for Goodwillie before he scored his first goal of the season, from the penalty spot, as Dundee United won 3–2 against Polish side Śląsk Wrocław in the UEFA Europa League Second qualifying round, but the club was eliminated from the competition through away goals.[136] In the first two league matches, Daly scored two goals against Heart of Midlothian and St Mirren.[137] On 8 August 2011, he signed a contract extension with Dundee United, keeping him until 2013.[138] However, Daly suffered a knee injury and was expected to be out for a month, but he returned to full training three weeks later.[139] Daly scored five goals in all competitions between 17 September 2011 and 1 October 2011, including a brace against Hibernian.[140] Since returning from injury, he continued to form a striking partnership with Johnny Russell, as well as, retaining his leadership as the club’s captain.[141] Daly scored another four goals in the league between 24 December 2011 and 2 January 2012, including a brace against Hibernian and his 50th goal for Dundee United against Aberdeen.[142] He added three more goals throughout February, scoring against St. Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Hearts.[143] Daly’s continuous goal scoring form throughout March earned him the Scottish Premier League’s Player of the Month award for March, in which, he described his form as "the best form of his career" at the club.[144] Shortly after winning the Player of the Month award, Daly was nominated for the PFA Scotland player of the year award, but he lost out to Charlie Mulgrew.[145] Nevertheless, Daly was named PFA Scotland SPL Team of the Year.[146]On the last game of the season against Motherwell, he scored his 22nd goal of the season, in a 2–0 win, finishing the season as Dundee United’s top–scorer.[147] Having become a crucial part of the team and gained himself the club captaincy throughout the 2011–12 season, Daly went on to make forty–three appearances and scoring twenty–two goals in all competitions.[148]

At the start of the 2012–13 season, Daly provided an assist for Keith Watson in the UEFA Europa League qualifying third round tie, against Dynamo Moscow, in a 2–2 draw.[149] However, he was unable to help Dundee United overturn the deficit in the return leg, as the club loss 5–0, eliminating them from the tournament as a result of a 7–2 loss on aggregate.[150] Daly started the season well when he scored two goals throughout August against Hibernian and Kilmarnock.[151] On 1 September 2012, however, Daly suffered a knee injury and was substituted in the 57th minute, in a 0–0 draw against St. Johnstone.[152] On 22 September 2012, he returned to the first team from a two weeks absent following a knee injury, coming on as a 58th minute substitute, in a 3–0 loss against Hearts.[153] Following his return from injury, Daly continued to form a striking partnership with Johnny Russell, as well as, retaining his leadership as Dundee United’s captain.[154] Daly also began to play in the centre–back position, playing three times throughout October when he was asked to cover by manager Houston following a shortage of centre–backs.[155] Daly later played two consecutive times in the centre–back position on two separate occasions later in the season.[156] He later scored nine goals in all competitions by the end of the year, including three braces against Kilmarnock, Stranraer and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[157] Daly provided a double assist for Russell before scoring goal for himself, in a 3–0 win against Rangers in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.[158] He scored three more goals throughout April, including a brace against Celtic in the semi–finals of the Scottish Cup.[159] Despite suffering injuries on three more occasions later in the 2012–13 season, Daly went on to make forty–four appearances and scoring fifteen times in all competitions and finished as the club’s second top-scorer behind Johnny Russell.[160]

In the final year of his contract, Daly announced he would be leavingd Dundee United at the end of the season, ending his six years spell at the club.[161] As a result, he was linked with a move to League Two side Fleetwood Town.[162] On 19 May 2013, Daly's exit from Dundee United was confirmed when he agreed a two-year deal with Rangers.[163][164]

Rangers

edit

On 24 May 2013, Daly agreed to join Rangers on a free transfer once the club's transfer ban lifted on 1 September 2013.[164] On 4 March 2013, Rangers announced they would make a move to sign Daly on a pre-contract deal, with the manager Ally McCoist later confirming his interest in signing him.[165][3] The move meant he would become the first Catholic player from the Republic of Ireland to sign for Rangers.[166] McCoist himself said that he had no problem with Daly's religion or place of birth.[167]

Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Daly scored his first goal for Rangers as a trialist in a pre-season friendly against FC Emmen.[168] Since joining the club, he formed a striking partnership with Nicky Clark in the first team.[169] After receiving criticism for not scoring the first two league matches despite being registered as a trialist until September, Daly scored his first competitive goals for Rangers in a 6–0 away victory against Airdrieonians on 23 August 2013.[170] On 28 September 2013, he scored four times in an 8–0 victory over Stenhousemuir.[171] Between 19 October 2013 and 25 November 2013, Daly scored nine goals in all competitions, including a hat–trick in a 4–0 away win over East Fife on 26 October 2013; followed up by scoring the only goal in the Scottish Challenge Cup’s semi-final against Stenhousemuir to secure McCoist’s first final as manager since taking over from Walter Smith in 2011; and a brace against Airdrieonians in the third round of the Scottish Cup.[172] Between 25 January 2014 and 25 February 2014, Daly scored five consecutive goals in five league matches, scoring one each.[173] He helped Rangers claimed the League One title and then helped the club go on a season unbeaten throughout the season.[174][175] Despite not being on the starting line–up on four occasions throughout the 2013–14 season, he went on to make forty–four appearances and twenty–five appearances in all competitions.[176] For his performance, Daly was named PFA Scotland Scottish League One Team of the Year.[177] Daly was also nominated for the PFA Scotland League One player of the year award but he lost out to Lee Wallace.[178]

However, Daly was ruled out for six weeks at the start of the 2014–15 season with a knee injury that required surgery.[179] By late–August, he recovered from a knee injury and returned to training.[180] On 12 September 2014, Daly returned from injury, coming on as a 78th minute substitute, in a 4–0 win against Raith Rovers.[181] Since returning to the first team, however, he found his playing time, coming from the substitute bench and faced new competitions from the striker position, such as, Kenny Miller and Kris Boyd.[182] Between 18 October 2014 and 21 October 2014, he scored three goals in two matches in all competitions, including a brace against Raith Rovers.[183] However, he continued to be plagued with injuries on three separate occasions and was eventually out for the rest of the season.[184] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Daly went on to make thirty–two appearances and scoring four times in all competitions.

On 29 May 2015, Daly confirmed that he had left Rangers and was a free agent. [185] Upon leaving the club, Daly was later critical of Rangers’ new chairman Dave King for "savaging out of contract players over failing to get out of the Championship".[186]

edit

Following his release by Rangers, Daly was linked with a move back to Dundee United and Hibernian.[187] He signed a short-term contract with Raith Rovers on 24 August 2015.[188]

The next day, Daly made his debut for the club, coming on as a 70th minute substitute, in a 2–1 win against Hamilton Academical.[189] On 24 October 2015, he scored his first goal for Raith Rovers, in a 2–1 loss to Hibernian.[190] Since joining the club, Daly became a first choice striker and formed a striking partnership with either Mark Stewart and Craig Wighton.[191] By the time he left Raith Rovers, Daly made nineteen appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

Having represented Republic of Ireland starting from U14, U15 to Republic of Ireland U16, Daly received his first call up for the Republic of Ireland U19 squad in July 2001.[192] On 5 November 2001, he scored twice on his U19 national team debut, in a 3–0 win against Latvia U19.[193] His involvement for the U19 national side saw Republic of Ireland U19 qualify for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Norway, including a brace against Croatia U19.[194] His talent was recognised when he picked up Republic of Ireland’s 2001 Youth Player of the Year award.[195]

In May 2002, Daly was called up to the Republic of Ireland U20 squad for the first time ahead of the Toulon Tournament.[196] He played three times in the tournament, as the U20 national side were eliminated in the group stage.[197] Two months later, Daly was called up to the Republic of Ireland U19 squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Norway.[198] On 22 July 2002, he scored twice for the U19 national side, in a 2–1 win against Belgium U19.[199] This was followed up by scoring in a 3–2 victory over England U19 that saw Republic of Ireland U19 qualify for the semi–finals.[200] However, Daly started the whole game in the semi–finals against Slovakia U19, as the U19 national side loss 2–1.[201]

In March 2002, Daly was called up to the Republic of Ireland U21 for the first time.[202] On 26 March 2002, he made his debut for the U21 national side, coming on as a 70th minutes, in a 3–2 win against Denmark U21.[203] On 20 August 2002, Daly scored his first goal for Republic of Ireland U21, in a 1–0 win against Finland U21.[204] He was hailed by Niall Quinn as his successor to the Republic of Ireland’s front line in Niall Quinn: The Autobiography.[8][205][206] Daly responded to Quinn’s claim, saying: "It’s very nice when people say things like that, but you have to take them with a pinch of salt. For everyone who says something good about you, there will be someone ready to say something bad."[25][207] In October 2003, he was called up to the FIFA World Youth Championship in UAE.[208] Daly went on to play at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship, playing in two of Republic of Ireland U21’s group matches before their second round exit.[209][52] Following this, Daly went on to make seven appearances and scoring once in all competitions for the U21 national side.

In October 2010, Daly said about his hopes of getting called up to the Republic of Ireland squad, using Anthony Stokes as an example, but this never happened.[210]

Coaching career

edit

Heart of Midlothian

edit

On 4 November 2015, Daly agreed to join Hearts as coach of their under-20 team when his contract with Raith Rovers expired in January 2016.[211] Upon doing so, he announced his retirement from professional football.[212][213] Daly revealed that he has a UEFA B Licence and intended to finish his UEFA A Licence the following year.[212] After playing two matches for Raith Rovers in January, he started his coaching job at Hearts.[214] Following Robbie Neilson's departure, Daly was announced as joint interim manager of Heart of Midlothian with Andy Kirk.[215] The pair coached their first match as manager of the club, in a 2–2 draw Ross County on 3 December 2016.[216] Daly went back to his previous role after Ian Cathro was appointed as new manager of Hearts.[217]

Daly was again placed in interim charge of the first team at Hearts on 2 August 2017, after the departure of Ian Cathro.[218] Following his first match as an interim manager at the club came in a 4–1 lost against Celtic three days later, he was criticised manager Brendan Rodgers after he made comments about Hearts, regarding the sacking of Ian Cathro.[219] Daly coached the club four more matches throughout August until his former manager Craig Levein took the manager role instead.[220] Following the appointment of Levein, he went back to his previous role.[221] It was later revealed that Daly was considered for the manager but Hearts’ chairwoman Ann Budge was reluctant to choose him, citing as a "poisoned chalice".[222] Five months later, he later reflected on his experience as the club’s interim manager, saying it was an "enjoyment experience".[223] Daly left Hearts in January 2020, soon after the appointment of Daniel Stendel as head coach.[224]

TPS Turku

edit

On 30 October 2020, Daly joined TPS Turku as assistant manager to Jonatan Johansson.[225] He also became manager of the under-23 team.[226] It was announced in December 2021 that Daly had left the club by mutual agreement to return home for family reasons.[227]

St Patrick's Athletic

edit

On 20 December 2021, it was announced that Daly had returned to Dublin to become assistant manager of League of Ireland Premier Division side St Patrick's Athletic under newly appointed manager Tim Clancy, who he had played against during his playing career in Scotland, as well as completing his coaching badges alongside Clancy.[228]

On 2 May 2023, Daly was announced as interim manager following Tim Clancy's departure from the club.[229] On 22 May 2023, Daly was named as permanent manager of St Patrick's Athletic, after winning 3 out of his 4 games in charge during his spell as interim manager.[230]

On 12 November 2023, Daly won his first piece of silverware as a manager when his Pats side won the 2023 FAI Cup Final, beating rivals Bohemians 3–1 in front of a record breaking FAI Cup Final crowd of 43,881 at the Aviva Stadium.[231]

On 7 May 2024, it was announced that Daly had been relieved of his duties as manager with the club in 7th place following 7 defeats in their opening 15 games of the 2024 season.[232]

Dundalk

edit

On 23 May 2024, he was appointed manager of bottom of the table League of Ireland Premier Division club Dundalk.[233]

Personal life

edit

Growing up, Daly had known Seán Dillon since they were young and "grew up together on the streets of Dublin and were team-mates at Cherry Orchard throughout their teenage years".[234][235] They were reunited when they joined Dundee United in January 2007 and were teammates at the club for six years.[234] He also grew supporting Manchester United.[236]

Daly is married to Linda and has two daughters.[237] Since moving to Scotland, he resided with his family.[106][238] During his time as the TPS Turku’s assistant manager, Daly learned the Finnish language.[239] Though he was described as the first Irish Catholic to join Rangers, Daly is not religious and believes that the media coverage of that transfer was exaggerated.[240][2]
