Daniel "Danny" Fox (born 29 May 1986) is a footballer who plays as a left back for Nottingham Forest. He represented England at under-21 international level, has since been selected for Scotland, making his debut in the November 2009 loss against Wales.
Fox was born in Winsford, Cheshire and learnt his trade at his boyhood club Everton's youth system at thirteen from Liverpool. As Fox progressed through the academy, Fox was offered a full time contract with the club, in which he signed on 19 May 2004.
After signing a full time contract with the club, Fox continued to develop in the reserve team and soon came to a first team appearance was as an 18-year-old being named on the bench for Everton's home match against Aston Villa in October 2004.
On 2 February 2005, Fox was loaned out by Everton to Stranraer, where he played 11 games (scoring once against Berwick Rangers) and helped them secure promotion to the Scottish First Division before his eventual release from Everton in the summer of 2005. Seven years on, Fox revealed that his time at Stranraer considerably helped with his career development: “It was a great grounding for me and made me realise I had to take every opportunity to make sure I played at the highest level possible."
After leaving Everton, Walsall moved quickly to sign Fox, alongside Everton youth teammate Anthony Gerrard on 3 June 2005.
