Daniel "Danny" Hoesen (born 15 January 1991) is a Dutch footballer who currently plays for the San Jose Earthquakes on loan from FC Groningen.
After short stints at local amateur clubs Hoesen enrolled the Fortuna Sittard youth academy. He was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2008 and made his debut for Fortuna on 15 August 2008, appearing as a substitute in an away match against Go Ahead Eagles.
In August 2008 at the age of 17, Hoesen signed for Fulham and went straight in to the Development squad.
On 30 April 2011, after his first loan spell with HJK, towards the end of the 2010–11 Premier League season, Hoesen was named on the bench in the league game against Sunderland, but he didn't make an appearance.
On 23 May 2011, Fulham confirmed that Hoesen had signed a contract extension and will remain at Fulham until June 2012. The club also had the option to extend terms until the summer of 2013.
In April 2010, Fulham announced that the Dutch striker was set to join Finnish club HJK Helsinki on loan from 9 April until 30 August. He made his HJK debut on 16 April in a 5–0 league win over KuPS. He scored his first goal for HJK on 29 May 2010 in a 1–2 away victory over IFK Mariehamn. Hoesen was released from his loan deal on 25 July due to a serious hip injury, more than one month before his contract with HJK was due to expire.
In August 2011, Hoesen joined Dutch side Fortuna Sittard on a season-long loan. The striker returned to Fulham on 31 May 2012.
On 29 August 2012, Hoesen signed a three-year contract with Ajax that will keep him at the club until 30 June 2015. His old club Fulham retain a 30% interest in the player. He made his debut for the Ajax senior side on 3 October 2012 in the UEFA Champions League group stage match against Real Madrid, coming on as a '66-minute substitute for Tobias Sana, in the 1–4 home loss for the Amsterdam side. Danny made his Eredivisie debut for Ajax on 17 November 2012 in a match against VVV-Venlo, coming on as a 72' minute substitute for Christian Eriksen, and scoring the second goal in the 84' minute of the 2–0 home win. Four days later on 21 November 2012, he made his second UEFA Champions League appearance, in the group stage match at home against Borussia Dortmund, coming on as a substitute in the 63' minute for Eyong Enoh. The match ended in a 1–4 loss for the Amsterdam side, with Danny Hoesen scoring the only goal, off of an assist from his team mate Christian Eriksen. Hoesen scored his most famous goal 26 November 2013, that day he scored against FC Barcelona in the second half of the Champions League game. He joined Greek club PAOK on loan in January 2014.
