Titles
Daníel came up through the junior ranks of Njarðvík[1] and appeared in his first senior games with the club during the 2004–2005 Úrvalsdeild karla season. He spent the following season with 1. deild karla club FSu before returning to Njarðvík in 2006.[2]
In 2008, Daníel signed with newly promoted Breiðablik. In 16 games, he averaged 8.6 points[3] and helped Breiðablik to an 8th-place finish and a seat in the playoffs. The following season, Daníel averaged a career high 11.0 points per game but the team was unable to reproduce the previous season success and ended being relegated with a 5-17 record. During the summer, he signed with Stjarnan.[4] Daníel appeared in 32 regular season and playoffs games for Stjarnan, averaging 6.0 points per game, and helping the team reach the 2011 Úrvalsdeild Finals where they eventually lost to KR.
During the summer of 2011, Daníel moved to Sweden and joined IK Eos.[5] He missed all but one game of the 2011–2012 season due to a back injury but appeared in 9 games in the Basketettan for the first half of the 2012–2013 season, averaging 6.1 points per game, before returning to Iceland and signing with Grindavík for the second half of the season.[6] He played for Grindavík until 2016, helping the club win the national championship in 2013.
