Dan Barlaser, born on 18 January 1997 (age 29), is an English central defensive midfielder with MK Dons. A steady rather than showy player, his role is built around position, passing and keeping the middle of the pitch in order.
His most productive league season came at Rotherham United in 2020–21, when he scored three goals in 33 appearances. That remains the standout attacking return in a career more naturally associated with control than output.
In 2026–27, Barlaser has made seven League One appearances and one League Cup outing for MK Dons, giving him eight appearances across all competitions. His market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.
Barlaser’s career has settled into the shape of a solid English lower-league midfielder: experienced, positionally clear, and currently part of the MK Dons squad.
