Dan Neil, born on 30 November 2001 (age 24), is an English central defensive midfielder now with Rangers. His senior career, though, has been shaped overwhelmingly by Sunderland, where he became a regular rather than a passing squad name.
Across four seasons at Sunderland, Neil made 134 league appearances and scored eight league goals. His most productive campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored four times in 42 league matches, a fair indication of both his durability and his place in the side.
In 2026-27, he has made one league appearance for Rangers and also featured once in Europa League qualifying, giving him two appearances across all competitions. For now, his career is still chiefly a Sunderland story, with Rangers the current chapter rather than the main body of work.
