Daniel "Dan" Kirkup (born 19 May 1988 in Hexham) is an English football defender playing for Hawke's Bay United.

Career

In the summer of 2006 he was offered a pro contract which he accepted after some good performances for the youth and reserve teams he will be pushing for first team appearances. On 28 September 2006 Kirkup went on loan to Southport.^[1] He returned to Carlisle United on January 11, 2007, due to United's lack of fit central defenders.

In August 2007, Kirkup joined Scottish First Division side Clyde on loan until January 2007.^[2] He made his debut on 1 September 2007, in a Scottish First Division defeat to Dundee. In a 0-0 draw against Queen of the South in December 2007, Kirkup won the Man of the Match award, as he made three goal-line clearances, and had a header at the other end crash off the bar.^[3] He made his final appearance for Clyde a week later against Dunfermline Athletic. On February 27 he joined Blue Square North club Workington on an initial one month loan deal. He joined Workington on a permanent transfer in June 2008. In October 2008, it was announced he would leave Workington the following month to play in New Zealand for Hawke's Bay United.^{[citation needed]}
