Daniel Lee Rose (born 2 July 1990) is an English former professionalfootballer who played as aleft-back.
Rose was known for his tendency to play attacking football, with particular focus placed on his speed, decision-making, and defensive abilities, all of which often he had likened toTottenham Hotspur legendCyril Knowles.
Rose started his professional career atLeeds United in 2006, having progressed through the club's youth ranks, but left forTottenham Hotspur in July 2007 before making an appearance. Following various loans toWatford,Peterborough United,Bristol City, andSunderland, he established himself as a first-team player at Tottenham over the next six seasons, as well as starting in the2019 UEFA Champions League final. Following a loan toNewcastle United in 2020, he departed Tottenham in June 2021, having made 214 appearances and scored ten goals for the club, and subsequently returned to Watford for a season. Rose played for England at theunder-17 andunder-19 levels before making hisunder-21 debut in 2009. Since then, he established himself in the team, making 29 appearances. He earned his first senior cap in a 3–2 victory againstGermany in 2016.
Rose was born inDoncaster, South Yorkshire.[5] His younger brotherMitch Rose plays forBuxton. He also is the cousin of footballerMichael Rankine, whose uncleMark Rankine also played professional football.[6]
In June 2018, Rose stated that he had been diagnosed with depression.[7]
On 23 December 2020, Rose was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after his car reportedly collided with the central reservation on theA45 inNorthampton.[8]
Rose is a product of theLeeds United youth academy.[9] Rose was named on the bench for the Leeds first team againstBarnet in theLeague Cup on 20 September 2006. The manager who named Rose on the bench,Kevin Blackwell, was dismissed immediately after the match.[10] Rose was not involved again in a squad for Leeds that season.[11] Leeds were subsequently relegated from The Championship to League One,[12] and with the club entering administration, Rose was sold to raise some much needed money for the club.[11]
On 25 July 2007,Tottenham Hotspur signed Rose for a transfer fee in the region of £1 million.[13] A regular for both theAcademy and Reserves, Rose was named as an unused substitute for the league fixture againstSunderland in January 2008.[14] His progress was temporarily curtailed, however, by a serious knee injury in September of the same year.[citation needed] Rose made his first start for Spurs in 2–2FA Cup draw against his former club Leeds United in January 2010.[15][16]
Rose made his league debut againstArsenal, scoring the first goal of the match after ten minutes as Tottenham won 2–1 in thePremier League on 14 April 2010.[17] The goal was subsequently described as "a volley so thunderous that you could hear the whack off his boot above the din of the raucous crowd" inThe Times.[18] Rose won Goal of the Season, with votes run bySky Sports and by the Tottenham website.[19][20] On 7 May 2011, Rose started againstBlackpool to fill in for regular left-backBenoît Assou-Ekotto, although playing out of his usual position, he was specifically praised by managerHarry Redknapp for his performance in the 1–1 draw.[21] Redknapp later explained that he convinced Rose at that time to convert from a left winger to a left-back by arguing that it would be Rose's only way to play for the England national team.[22] Rose would continue to fill in at left-back for the remaining three matches of the season, turning in excellent performances in a narrow loss toManchester City and wins overLiverpool andBirmingham City.[23][24][25]
In March 2009, Rose went on loan toWatford for the remainder of the2008–09 season.[26] Watford managerBrendan Rodgers described Rose as a "highly talented, committed player" who possesses "good energy and real intelligence with the ball."[27] He made his debut in Watford's 2–1 away victory atDoncaster Rovers on 4 April 2009.[28]
On 29 September 2009, Rose joinedPeterborough United on loan until January 2010.[29] He then went into that night's team where they playedPlymouth Argyle, losing 2–1 at home.[30] Rose returned to Tottenham on 11 November 2009,[31] following the departure of Peterborough managerDarren Ferguson.[32]
On 9 September 2010, Rose joinedChampionship clubBristol City on a season-long loan deal subject to a recall clause which becomes active after 28 days at the club.[33] On 13 November, Rose came on as a second-half substitute against Leeds United and was booed by the home supporters. The match was the first time he had played at Elland Road after leaving the club.[34] Rose returned to Tottenham Hotspur in February 2011 after a series of minor injuries had limited his impact and appearances at Bristol City.[35]
On 31 August 2012, Rose joined Premier League club Sunderland on a season-long loan from Spurs.[36] Rose played his debut against Liverpool on 15 September 2012.[37] Rose scored his first goal for Sunderland in an away match atAston Villa on 29 April 2013.[38] Rose returned to Tottenham after being named the club's young player of the season to undergo surgery on a wrist injury in May 2013.[39]

Rose missed the match where Tottenham suffered a 5–0 home defeat to Liverpool which subsequently sawAndré Villas-Boas dismissed as manager.[43][44] On 22 December with Villas-Boas gone, Rose returned to first-team football underTim Sherwood where Tottenham went away toSouthampton and won 3–2.[45]
Towards the end of the season after six away matches without a win Rose scored the only goal of the match with a header in the 33rd minute against Stoke City to earn Tottenham three points.[46] On 31 July 2014, Rose signed a five-year contract with Tottenham.[47] In the 2014 summer transfer window Tottenham signedBen Davies which would be competition in the left-back role as well as providing cover if Rose got injured.[48]
On 1 January 2015, Rose scored his first goal of the season in Tottenham's 5–3 Premier League victory overChelsea atWhite Hart Lane.[49] Rose scored again for Tottenham in the FA Cup third-round replay againstBurnley at home, netting the final goal in a 4–2 victory.[50] He added to his tally in the Premier League on 22 February againstWest Ham United, scoring Spurs' first in a 2–2 draw.[51] He started as Tottenham lost 2–0 toChelsea in the2015 League Cup Final atWembley Stadium on 1 March.[52] On 16 May, Rose scored his final goal of the campaign in a 2–0 home victory overHull City,[53] which effectively left the Tigers needing a win at home against Manchester United to survive relegation which they failed to do.[54]
Rose was named as captain by managerMauricio Pochettino for the first time in his career in a2015–16 FA Cup match againstLeicester City on 10 January 2016.[55]

In October 2017, Rose returned to first team training after being out injured for over nine months.[64] He made his first appearance of the2017–18 season as a substitute in theUEFA Champions League away game againstReal Madrid that ended in a 1–1 draw.[65] He made his first start of the season in a 1–0 home win againstCrystal Palace in early November.[66]

Rose was not included in the Tottenham squad for the2019 International Champions Cup. The club stated that "Danny Rose has been granted additional time off in order to explore prospective opportunities with other clubs."[71] However, no move materialised for Rose, and on 10 August 2019 he started in Tottenham's first game of the season, a 3–1 victory against Aston Villa.[72]
On 30 January 2020, Rose moved clubs for the first time in seven years when he joinedNewcastle United on loan for the rest of the season.[73] Following his move, Rose criticised Tottenham managerJosé Mourinho as he felt he was not "given as much of a chance as everybody else in the backline" in the Tottenham squad.[74] The loan was later extended to cover the rest of the season following football's suspension due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[75]
Rose was not allocated a squad number for the season and was omitted from Tottenham's Premier League and Europa League squads, rendering him ineligible for selection by the club in either competition until at least January 2021.
