The 30-year-old versatile defender played 5 times on loan at `Marine earlier this season before returning to parent club, Vanarama National League South Bath City.

A product of Bristol City’s academy, he signed a professional contract in July 2010.

Although he suffered a number of injury problems, he twice had his contract at Ashton Gate extended before being released in May 2012.

After joining National League South club Bath City on trial that summer he impressed sufficiently to be offered a one-year deal at Twerton Park.

He soon secured a regular starting place and has since been one of City’s most consistent and impressive players ever since, both at full-back and in the centre of defence, picking up the player of the year award for the 2015/16 season.

He has made over 250 appearances for Bath and spent part of the 2018/19 season on loan at Supermarine`s league rivals Tiverton Town.

Manager Lee Spalding told his club`s website: “Everyone could see from Dan’s first loan spell with us that he was an excellent player and brought a solidity to the Marine defence and we are excited to bring him back into the squad for the remainder of the season”.
