Dani Silva, born on 11 April 2000 (age 26), is a Portuguese central defensive midfielder now with Widzew Lodz. A steady rather than showy type, he has built his senior career around the less glamorous work in midfield.
His most productive league season came with Vitoria SC in 2022-23, when he made 30 appearances and scored once. That was a solid body of work in Portugal, and the sort of season that gives a player a proper footing rather than just a line on a CV.
Silva has since moved on to Widzew Lodz, where he has made five Ekstraklasa appearances in 2026-27. His current market value is around £2m, according to Transfermarkt.
At this stage, his career is that of an established professional midfielder with experience in Portugal and Poland, still in his mid-twenties and working through the next stretch of his club career.
