Daniel Fox (born May 29 1986 in Winsford, Cheshire) is an English footballer, currently playing for Coventry City.

Playing career

Fox learnt his trade at the Everton youth academy but the closest he came to a first-team appearance was as an 18-year-old being named on the bench for Everton's home match against Aston Villa in October 2004. He was loaned out to Stranraer where he played 11 games before his eventual release from Everton in the summer of 2005. Walsall moved quickly to snap-up Fox, where he made over 100 appearances in all competitions.

Fox had been linked with a move to Leeds United in the January 2008 transfer window. Leeds reportedly had bid of up to £300,000 (including clauses) turned-down by Walsall [ [http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/leedsunited/United-move-for-transfer-targets.3629991.jp United move for transfer targets - Yorkshire Evening Post ] ] . However, Coventry City then agreed a fee with Walsall as Fox wished to move up a league, and he joined the Sky Blues on Monday 28 January 2008 in a double transfer deal (with his defensive partner Scott Dann also moving to the Ricoh Arena only 72 hours later), after agreeing personal terms and a passing a medical.

He scored his first goal for the club in a 5-1 win away at Colchester United.

International career

Fox was called up to the England Under-21s squad for the match against Poland Under-21s on March 25th and was selected in the starting XI.
