Chima Daniel "Danny" Uchechi (born 14 September 1989) is a Nigerian football forward.
Uchechi was born in Abia State and moved to England in 2002. Uchechi scored 13 goals with the Charlton Athletic under-18 team, then added five goals in reserve squad matches in 2008–09 season. Uchechi signed for West Ham United in spring 2009. After being released by West Ham, Uchechi returned in summer 2010 to Nigeria National League side FC Dender.
Uchechi was loaned in January 2011 to Leicester City. He was not given a squad number for the 2010–11 season for Leicester City and did not feature for the first team. In a reserve game for Leicester City, against San Jose Earthquakes in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Belvoir Drive, he scored a penalty after Miguel Vítor had been fouled in the penalty area.
Uchechi was to start the 2011/2012 pre-season training with Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen, where he eventually signed a six-month deal. Nigerian team mate Sone Aluko also played there before moving to Rangers. On 20 July 2011, however, Uchechi played the second half of a pre-season friendly for English side Peterborough United F.C. on trial.
Following a successful short trial at Sheffield Wednesday, Megson was impressed with his good feet, good pace and ability to get a goal and offered him a loan move until January 2012. Uchechi became Gary Megson's seventh summer recruit and was given the number 27. He made his Owls debut in the League Cup win against Blackpool on 11 August 2011 just hours after he put pen to paper. On 24 November 2011 it was confirmed that his loan spell with the club had been cut short.
