Daniel Peter "Danny" Simpson (born 4 January 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Premier League club Leicester City.
A product of the Manchester United academy, during his development Simpson played on loan for Sunderland, Ipswich Town and Blackburn Rovers in England, and Royal Antwerp in Belgium. He was on loan at Newcastle United for six months before signing for them on a permanent basis in January 2010, and after four years joined Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer in June 2013 for a year, before joining Leicester City the following season.
Simpson was born in Eccles, Greater Manchester, to a Jamaican father and English mother. Simpson played for Parkwyddn JFC in Eccles as a youth before being picked up by Manchester United. He is a product of the Manchester United youth system, having come up through the ranks into the reserve squad in 2005.
Simpson made his debut against South African team Kaizer Chiefs on 18 July 2006, which the Reds won 1–0. Manager Alex Ferguson claimed that Simpson looked "anything but a player making his first start for Manchester United".
In early January 2006, he was sent on loan, along with three other United youths, to the Belgian second division club Royal Antwerp for the remainder of the season, to gain match experience. Simpson also spent the first half of the 2006–07 season at Antwerp before returning to United in January 2007.
