Danny Newton
Daniel James Newton (born 18 March 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Southern League Premier Division Central club Harborough Town.
Newton began his career at Hinckley United, where he broke into the first team in 2010 and spent two seasons. He subsequently joined National League North club Nuneaton Town, spending most of his time on loan back at Hinckley, and then at Barwell. He signed for Barwell on a permanent basis at the start of the 2013–14 season, before making the step up to join Brackley Town in October 2013. In January 2014, Newton signed for Leamington, where he was the club's top goalscorer during the 2014–15 season.
A move to Tamworth, also of the National League North, followed in May 2015. Newton signed for League Two club Stevenage ahead of the 2017–18 season, finishing as the club's top goalscorer and being named as Stevenage's Player of the Year during his first season. After four years at Stevenage, he joined Solihull Moors in August 2021 for one season, followed by a move to National League club Boreham Wood in July 2022. Newton returned to Brackley Town in May 2023 for two seasons, helping the club achieve promotion as National League North champions, before signing for Harborough Town in May 2025.
Newton was born in Liverpool, Merseyside. His family relocated to Leicester when he was two years old and he grew up in the East Midlands.
Newton began his career at Conference North club Hinckley United, breaking into the first team during the latter stages of the 2009–10 season. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 victory against Harrogate Town on 24 April 2010, coming on as a second-half substitute to score the match-winner in the 91st minute. Newton remained at Hinckley for the 2010–11 season, making 28 appearances and scoring three goals as the club finished 15th in the league. The 2011–12 season marked his breakthrough in terms of regular first-team starting appearances, as he made 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and forming a strike partnership with Andre Gray.
At the end of the 2011–12 season, Newton signed for Conference North club Nuneaton Town. Having made no appearances in Nuneaton's opening matches of the 2012–13 season, he was loaned back to Hinckley United in September 2012; the initial one-month loan was later extended to three months. He made 11 appearances and scored twice during the spell. Recalled by Nuneaton in November 2012, Newton made his debut as a 60th-minute substitute in a 1–0 FA Trophy defeat to Telford United on 24 November 2012. He made 10 appearances for Nuneaton in all competitions, before being loaned to Southern Football League club Barwell in March 2013 for the remainder of the season. Newton was sent off on his Barwell debut but went on to score three goals in seven matches, including his first in a 2–1 away victory against Kettering Town.
Newton left Nuneaton at the end of the 2012–13 season and joined Barwell on a permanent basis in the summer of 2013, with the club having been relocated from the Southern Football League to the Northern Premier League, on non-contract terms to start the 2013–14 season. He scored a 13-minute hat-trick in a 3–2 away win against Stafford Rangers on 20 August 2013 and tallied 11 goals in 13 matches during the opening two months, earning three Man of the Match awards. His form attracted interest from Conference North club Brackley Town, and he signed for them on 23 October 2013. Newton made eight appearances for Brackley, seven of which were as a substitute, debuting in a 3–2 victory against Boston United on 2 November 2013.
After two months at Brackley, Newton joined fellow Conference North club Leamington in January 2014 on a contract until the end of the 2013–14 season, as part of a deal that saw Stefan Moore make the reverse move to Brackley. He made his debut on 11 January 2014, playing 78 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against Solihull Moors, and scored his first goal in a 2–1 defeat to Harrogate Town. Newton remained a first-team regular for the remainder of the season, scoring 10 goals in 18 appearances.
