Jon Daly (born 8 January 1983 in Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish footballer who currently plays as a striker or defender for Dundee United in the Scottish Premier League.

Club career

Jon Daly started his career at Irish amateur side Cherry Orchard, before signing for Stockport County in May 1998. At Stockport he made an immediate impact scoring regularly for the youth and reserve team.[1] Daly began to make an impression on manager Andy Kilner during Stockport’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,[1] in which he scored his first senior goal after "lobbing" the Kristianstad keeper.[2] The following season saw Daly become Stockport’s second youngest player when he came off the bench to make his first his first team debut against Walsall. However, Daly failed to secure a regular place and he only managed to play in 5 matches in his first two seasons. Consequently, Daly had to wait until the 2001/2002 season before he scored his first senior goal against Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup. After scoring his first goal, Daly began to play in the Stockport team. However, this was disrupted when he was sent off after appearing to elbow Mitchell Thomas during Stockport’s 2–0 defeat to Burnley.[3] However after receiving his ban, Daly returned to the side to face Wimbledon and responded by scoring his first league goal.

By the start of the 2002–03 season, Daly was regarded as one of Division 2's most promising strikers.[4] He played more regularly and he was involved in 35 of Stockport’s 46 league games, scoring 7 goals. During this season Stockport manager, Carlton Palmer, decided against naming a goalkeeper on the bench and revealed that he was planning to use Jon Daly in net should their keeper get sent off or injured. However, this never occurred and Daly never made an appearance in net.[5]

In February 2005, Daly signed for Hartlepool, where he would stay for the next two years. Daly’s scored his first goal for Hartlepool against Bournemouth, which helped seal Hartlepool a play-off spot. Daly’s most important goal came weeks later in the League 1 Play-Off Final against Sheffield Wednesday, when he scored with his first touch after coming on as a substitute to put Hartlepool in the lead.[5] However, Hartlepool would later end up losing that match but the goal will be remembered as the goal that almost sent Hartlepool into the Championship. Daly would struggle to feature for the club the following season and was sent on loan to Bury. In the 2006/07 season, Daly would at first again struggle to hold down a first team spot. However, he cemented his in Hartlepool’s record books in the with a remarkable scoring spree of 7 goals in a week (3 games).[6] After this Daly would struggle to refind his form and was surplus to requirements after Danny Wilson signed Richie Barker.

Dundee United

Daly was allowed to join Dundee Utd in January 2007 for an undisclosed fee. In May 2007, Daly suffered a posterior cruciate ligament injury, ruling him out for around six months.[7] In April 2009, Daly injured both his anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, ruling him out of action for "at least 12 months",[8] although he was later expected to return within half that timeframe.[9] Subsequently returning in late November, Daly scored in his first two substitute appearances before netting his second hat-trick for the club in January 2010, scoring three in the club's 4–1 win at Falkirk. Jon finished the season as Dundee United's top scorer, and picked up a Scottish Cup Winners medal in May 2010. United manager Peter Houston subsequently named Jon Daly as club captain for season 2010/11. Daly's imperious form throughout the 2011/2012 season, has seen him linked to a number of Premier League clubs, including West Bromwich Albion and Wigan Athletic.

In the 2011/2012 season, Daly had managed to score 20 goals in 37 matches for Dundee United by 1 April 2012, becoming a crucial part of the team and gainied himself club captaincy.

He is also known for his trademark "Hands up" celebration after a youtube video caught the attention of fans, Daly himself adopted the celebration which has now earned cult status amongst Arabs who regularly can be seen replicating the celebration every time he scores.

International career

Jon Daly represented Republic of Ireland from under 14 to under 21 level and was hailed by Niall Quinn as his successor to the Republic of Ireland front line.[1][10] Daly’s talent was then recognised when he picked up Ireland’s 2001 Youth Player of the Year award[11] and he was also given the opportunity to progress to the under-21 team. Daly maintained his promise and scored in Ireland’s under-19 3–2 victory over England.

For the next two years, Daly kept his place and became a frequent goalscorer in the Republic of Ireland under-21 national football team[12] and went on to play at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship, playing in two of Ireland's group matches before their second round exit.[13] [14][15]

Personal life

Daly is married to Linda and has two daughters.[16]
