Daniel Adam "Danny" Pugh (born 19 October 1982) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Blackpool.
Pugh began his career with Manchester United where he made a handful of appearances before joining Leeds United in the summer of 2004. Pugh spent two seasons at Elland Road before joining Preston North End. Another two-year spell followed until he joined Stoke City in November 2007. He became a regular under Tony Pulis helping the club gain promotion in 2007–08. He struggled to hold down a regular place in the side in the Premier League and had loan spells back at Preston and then Leeds where he joined permanently for a second time in January 2012. Pugh made 62 appearances in his second spell at Leeds and also played on loan at Sheffield Wednesday in 2012–13. He then went on to play for Coventry City, Bury and Blackpool.
Pugh came through the youth ranks at Manchester United. In his time at the club, he made seven first-team appearances, six of which came in cup competitions.
Pugh became the first player signed under new Leeds United manager Kevin Blackwell as part-exchange for former Leeds favourite Alan Smith. Pugh was signed as a utility player – his ability to play on the left side of midfield or defence and centre midfield was to be a key factor in a Leeds squad which only had four players remaining from the season before.
