John Danby (born 20 September 1983) is an English footballer who plays for Connah's Quay Nomads as a goalkeeper. Previous to this he played for much of his career at Chester City, and the subsequent phoenix club Chester, although he has also played for Kidderminster Harriers, Eastwood Town and Bradford Park Avenue.
Born in Stoke, Danby spent five seasons with Kidderminster Harriers before signing for Chester City in 2006. Danby's time with Kidderminster unfortunately saw them relegated out of The Football League in 2004–05 but he established himself as a promising young goalkeeper.
He went on to enjoy a successful 2006–07 season with Chester and was named the club's player of the season. Despite the signing of the experienced Gavin Ward, Danby was selected in goal for Chester's opening game of the 2007–08 season against Chesterfield. In two full seasons he did not miss any of Chester's competitive first–team matches, although he went off injured in a Football League Trophy tie against Crewe Alexandra in September 2007 and in a league match against Darlington in March 2008.
