Dan signed after the start of 91/92 season after leaving Solihul following money problems and had an immediate impact, being instrumental in the Autumn Cup win of that year, scoring 2+1 in a 7-5 victory. Dan went on to amass 200 points that year as Panthers finished runners up in both the Premier League and Wembley Championships.
