Dan was previously at West Bromwich Albion but was released when the club were promoted to the Premiership. He came to Burton, initially on a trial basis as the club sought to find a replacement for Matt Duke.

He impressed in friendly matches, but didn't look as though he would secure a deal, until an injury to Martin Taylor meant he was thrown in at the deep end for the trip to Carlisle. He kept a clean sheet on his debut and  managed to retain his place for the remainder of the season.

Dan was inspired and infuriating in equal amounts and he eventually lost his place in the team to Saul Deeney. He was loaned out to Moor Green during the 2005/06 season and moved to Rushden & Diamonds during the January transfer list.
