Daniel Care (born 2 January 1987) is an English rugby union player who plays for Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership, primarily playing at Scrum-half but he can also operate in the Fly-half role.
Care is a full England international who has made more than 100 appearances for England at 9 different levels including multiple age groups as well as England Sevens and England Saxons.
Born 2 January 1987 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
Danny Care first played rugby union at age 6 with his local club in Leeds, West Park Bramhope RUFC (now called West Park Leeds RUFC), although his first love was football. At age 11 he was invited to join the Academy at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club which meant giving up club rugby although he was able to continue playing the game at Prince Henry's Grammar School in Otley.
He helped Prince Henry's win the Under-13 Yorkshire Cup in 2000 but he missed almost all of the next season recovering from a broken leg sustained in a school game.
The following season he was forced to choose between football and rugby union and he asked Sheffield Wednesday to release him from his Academy contract so that he could concentrate on rugby and by the end of the season he had been selected for Yorkshire Schools' Under-15's. This was his first taste of representative rugby which included a man-of-the-match performance in the Roses game against Lancashire at Pontefract. In May 2002 he was part of the West Yorkshire team that won the inaugural Under-15 National 10-a-side Festival with the final being played in the Commonwealth Games stadium in Manchester.
Further honours followed next season with selection for Yorkshire and the North of England before making his debut for England Schools' Under-16's against Wales at Neath in April 2003. By now Care had resumed club rugby with Otley RUFC and the season also brought another Yorkshire Cup success at Under-16's with Prince Henry's.
