Daniel "Danny" Roberts (born 12 November 1975) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder for Colchester United and a number of English non-league clubs.

Career

Born in Chelmsford, Roberts came through the youth ranks at Colchester United. He was brought into the first team early following a string of injuries and suspensions, meaning that manager George Burley needed to play him during two legs of a League Cup tie with Brentford.[2] He came on as a substitute for Chris Fry to make his debut for the club in the first leg 2–0 home defeat on 16 August 1994,[3] and made his second and final appearance in the return leg, starting at Griffin Park in another 2–0 defeat.[4]

Roberts failed to feature in any further games for Colchester and he was not retained, later joining non-league clubs including Grays Athletic, Sudbury Town, Chelmsford City, Clacton Town, Harwich & Parkeston, Heybridge Swifts and Wivenhoe Town.[2]
