Daniel Thomas "Danny" Hylton (born 25 February 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two club Luton Town.
Born in Camden, Greater London, Hylton joined Aldershot Town aged 16 in 2005, when he was signed by Terry Brown. During the 2007–08 season, Hylton was part of the team which won the Conference Premier title and the Conference League Cup. Among his appearances, Hylton played in their first League Cup game, when he came on as a 69th-minute substitute for Marvin Morgan in a 3–1 defeat to Coventry City on 13 August 2008.
In March 2007, Hylton joined Harlow Town on loan before he sustained an injury on his debut, making one appearance as a result.
On 6 January 2011, it was reported Hylton had agreed to sign for AFC Wimbledon. However, he later signed a one-year contract extension to remain with Aldershot under new manager Dean Holdsworth.
In May 2012, Hylton was given an eight-match ban and fined £1,000 after being found guilty of two charges of racial abuse.
On 18 June 2013, Hylton signed a two-year contract with newly promoted League One club Rotherham United, with the option of a third year. He made his Rotherham debut in a 1–0 win away to Brentford on 5 October. Ten days later, Hylton was loaned out to League Two club Bury until 23 November.
