Club career

Early career

Alcock was born near Stoke-on-Trent and joined local side Stoke City as a trainee from school. He turned professional in August 2001, but was released in May 2003 without making his first team debut for Stoke, signing for local side Stone Dominoes and subsequently moving on to Kidsgrove Athletic.[2]

Barnsley

He joined Barnsley in August 2003. He was understudy to first Saša Ilić and then Marlon Beresford, but finally made his league debut on April 12, 2004 in a 3–3 draw at home to Queens Park Rangers, replacing the injured Beresford midway through the first half. That was his only first team appearance for Barnsley and he was released at the end of the season.[3]

Accrington Stanley

He joined Accrington Stanley in July 2004,[4] playing five times in the Conference the following season. In the 2005–06 season, Accrington won the title and promotion to the Football League, but Alcock played just once, in the 2–0 defeat away to Kidderminster Harriers on the final day of the season as Stanley rested regular keeper Robert Elliot. He would have played more often, in particular when a broken arm in a reserve game prevented him from replacing the injured and soon to retire Stuart Jones.[5] He was released soon after that game[6]

Stafford Rangers

Alcock joined Stafford Rangers in August 2006,[7] quickly establishing himself as Rangers' regular keeper the following season. At the end of the 2007/2008 season, Danny won the fans player of the season, managers player of the season and the players' player of the season awards for his great goalkeeping, despite conceding almost 100 goals that year, he was often thanked for the match not having a 'cricket score'. Danny stayed as the first choice keeper in 2008/2009, fighting off tough competition from new keeper Tim Sandercombe(who became staffords number 1 and has subsequently signed to Mansfield Town). Alcock, who was a firm fans favourite, despite being one of the best keepers in the nonleague, stayed faithful to Rangers despite the fact he could play at a higher level.

Tamworth

On December 18, 2008, Alcock made the short journey to local side, Tamworth.

Following promotion to the Conference National, Alcock was forced to leave the club due to university commitments, Alcock explained he could make weekend and night games, but wouldn't be able to part take in training during the week, it is likely he will return to the Conference North with a new club next season, and would continue living in the midlands area.

It was confirmed by manager Gary Mills on 15 July 2010 that Alcock wouldn't be returning to The Lambs for the 2010/11 season.[8]

Nuneaton Town

Alcock signed for Nuneaton Town on 5 August 2010 following a successful trial period.[9]

He is also a Goalkeeping Coach on a part-time basis at his first club Stoke City's academy.

International career

Alcock played for the England C team in their match against Northern Ireland in 2007.

Personal life

Alcock is a Stoke City fan, his footballing icon is Peter Schmeichel.

Family

His younger brother Adam is also a goalkeeper in non-league football.[10] Their father is Barry Alcock, the former Stafford Rangers goalkeeper in the 1980s.
