February 14 1987 inLiverpool ,Merseyside ) is an English professional footballer currently playing with Championship side Coventry City.Dann joined Walsall in 2003 as a junior after impressing on trial at the
Bescot Stadium , signing a professional contract with the Saddlers the following year. Moved up the ranks at Walsall to become a regular in the reserve team throughout 2004-2005, and was allowed to join Danish sideKøge BK on loan towards the end of the campaign.Dann then joined Conference North side Redditch United on loan in October 2005, initially until the end of the season, but was recalled in January 2006. Joined Redditch's league rivals Hednesford Town on loan following injuries to regular centre backs Richard Teesdale and Ian Wright. Played in three games for the Pitmen, against Hucknall Town, Stafford Rangers and Lancaster City before injury put an end to his loan spell at Keys Park. He returned to Walsall and was put on a short-term contract for the 2006-2007 season, where he has earned his place in the starting line-up with a number of excellent performances at the back. His season was ended in March 2007 after picking up a metatarsal injury in the live Sky game against MK Dons.
As reward for his outstanding season for the Saddlers, who were promoted as League Two Champions, Dann was given a three year contract to commit him to the club and to ward off interest from a number of clubs higher up in the league.
His form in League One was equally as impressive as the previous season, so it was little surprise then that in January 2007, Dann joined Coventry for an undisclosed fee. His impressive form for the Saddlers continued in the Championship for the Sky Blues, and alongside former Walsall team-mate Daniel Fox, who had also moved to the
Ricoh Arena , he helped the club claw their way to safety. The England set-up had seen enough in Dann and Fox to decide they were ready to make the step up to international level, with both players making their U-21 debuts in March 2008 against Poland at Molineux.On
August 4 ,2008 , it was announced that Dann will captain Coventry City for the 2008-09 season. [http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/coventry-city-fc-news/2008/08/04/scott-dann-is-named-coventry-city-captain-92746-21460223/]Honours
