Daniel Tanveer "Danny" Batth (born 21 September 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender and is captain for Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has additionally represented Colchester United, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday on loan. He is of mixed English and Sikh Punjabi descent.
Born in Brierley Hill, West Midlands, Batth joined the Wolverhampton Wanderers Academy at the age of 10. He captained the youth team and overcame a dislocated shoulder in his reserve team debut, aged 16. He was one of seven academy graduates to sign a professional deal at the end of the 2008–09 season.
Batth had his first taste of first-team football when he was signed by Aidy Boothroyd for League One club Colchester United on loan on 17 September 2009. He made his Football League and professional debut two days later, starting in central defence alongside Magnus Okuonghae in a 2–0 win over Hartlepool United and earning the man of the match award. After making five starts during his first month with the club, Batth's loan was extended until the end of the season at the Colchester Community Stadium. He scored his first professional goal to secure a 1–0 victory against Oldham Athletic on 20 February 2010, nodding home a David Prutton corner to extend Colchester's run of games undefeated to five. Batth made 17 league starts for Colchester and made on substitute appearance, scoring one goal. Colchester occupied a play-off position during a large part of Batth's spell.
