Daniels Balodis (born 10 June 1998, age 28) is a Latvian central defender with 1. FC Tatran Prešov. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is most clearly shaped by his season at St Johnstone. In 2024-25, he made 13 league appearances and scored twice, which stands as his most productive league campaign. For a defender, those two goals were a useful enough return in a side where every contribution tended to matter.
Balodis is now with Tatran Prešov, with St Johnstone remaining the main Scottish reference point in a career built around steady defensive work rather than much noise.
