Daniel Vendrys Powell (born 12 March 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or striker for League One club Milton Keynes Dons.

Club career

Milton Keynes Dons

Born in Luton, Bedfordshire,[1] Powell joined Milton Keynes Dons academy and made his professional debut for the club in a 3–1 victory over Hartlepool United on 15 November 2008, coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute and scoring the team's final goal in the 90th minute.[2]

Powell playing for Crawley Town in 2009

Crawley Town (loan)

Powell joined Conference Premier club Crawley Town on loan on 3 August 2009,[3] making three league appearances before returning to Milton Keynes Dons.[4]

Forest Green (loan)

Powell was loaned out once more, this time to Conference Premier club Forest Green Rovers.[5] He made his debut for the club on 17 October 2009 in a 5–2 away defeat to Histon.[6] His first goal for the club was the third in a 3–1 win over Salisbury City on Boxing Day 2009.[7]

Powell became a regular with Forest Green and the club decided to extend his loan until the end of the 2009–10 season in January 2010.[8] He went on to make 28 appearances and scored six goals in all competitions.[4]

Darlington (loan)

Having not made an appearance for Milton Keynes Dons at the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Powell joined Conference Premier club Darlington on a one-month loan on 1 October 2010.[9] He made his debut for the club the next day in a 1–0 defeat at home to Wrexham.[10] Three days later, Powell scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 defeat away to Rushden & Diamonds.[11] He made a further three league appearances during his loan spell.[4]

Return to Milton Keynes Dons

Powell returned to Milton Keynes Dons in November 2010 and began to break into the first-team, becoming a regular in the starting lineup after the sales of Aaron Wilbraham to Norwich City and Jermaine Easter to Crystal Palace left the club with just two senior strikers.[12][13] Powell went on to score nine goals in 29 league appearances for the club in the 2010–11 season.[14]

On 5 March 2013, Powell signed a two-year extension to his current Milton Keynes Dons deal, keeping him at the club until June 2015.[15]

Powell netted eight times in 42 league appearances in 2014–15,[16] as Milton Keynes Dons were promoted to the Championship as League One runners-up.[17] On 18 July 2015, Powell signed another two-year extension tying him to the club through June 2017.[18] Milton Keynes Dons were relegated back to League One after only one season,[19] with Powell making 22 league appearances, scoring twice in 2015–16.[20]

Style of play

Powell has been described as being a forward thinking player who often runs at full-backs and is a strong asset down the flanks. His unpredictable nature is often an asset and at times a flaw in his character but remains an important player when on the field.[21]
