Daniel Craig "Danny" Racchi (born 22 November 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender or a midfielder and is unattached.
Racchi started his career with Huddersfield Town in their youth system, signing a professional contract with the club in 2006. He made his first-team debut in 2007, and having made six appearances he was released by Huddersfield in 2008. He was signed by Bury and played for them in the League Two play-offs in his first season. After being released in 2010, Racchi joined Conference Premier side Wrexham on non-contract terms, but after failing to make an appearance joined divisional rivals York City. He spent the remainder of the 2010–11 season with York, and after being released in 2011 signed for Kilmarnock of the Scottish Premier League.
Born in Elland, West Yorkshire, Racchi joined the Huddersfield Town youth system at the age of eight and signed a professional contract on 1 July 2006. He continued to train with the Academy before getting his first call-up to the first team for Huddersfield's game against Port Vale on 31 March 2007, in which he replaced John McAliskey as a substitute with 10 minutes remaining.
On 15 May 2007, he signed a new one-year contract with Huddersfield. Although he had yet to make his first start for Huddersfield, manager Andy Ritchie said at the time that he and some of the other academy players such as Lucas Akins and Mitchell Bailey still had a good future at the club. After three appearances during the 2007–08 season, he was released from the club in May 2008 by new manager Stan Ternent.
