Speaking with the Warrington Guardian after the match, the stopper’s manager Mark Beesley said: “Dan is good in the air and attacks the ball because that’s what he’s used to doing in his own box.

“He gets on the end of it and it goes in, but we deserved that little bit of luck”.

The 23-year-old has already had a weird and wonderful career with a four-year stay in our academy ending with no club and a return to working life for the ‘keeper.

After fighting to get back into the game, it’s great to see the Haydock-born player back on the pitch and making headlines for all the right reasons.

Of course, it’s not the job of the man between the sticks to go and put the ball in the opposition net but when it happens – it’s always a story worth sharing.

At the time of writing, there hasn’t been a video put out of the finish yet but be sure to keep your eyes peeled for what is always deemed a moment of history.
