Daniel "Danny" Philliskirk (born 10 April 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Blackpool. Born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, he began his career as a junior with Oldham Athletic before moving to Chelsea. Having failed to break into the Chelsea side he spent time on loan at Oxford United before signing for Sheffield United. Having been on the fringes of first team football he was eventually released to allow him to join Coventry City on a short term contract, before his return to Oldham. In January 2016, he signed for Blackpool on a two-and-a-half year deal with the club having an option to extend a further year.
Philliskirk is the son of former Sheffield United and Bolton Wanderers forward Tony Philliskirk who is the head of youth development at his current club.
Philliskirk began his career with his home town club, Oldham Athletic. He progressed through the club's youth system before signing a four-year contract with Chelsea in the summer of 2007. He captained the Chelsea youth team in the 2008–09 season before establishing himself in the club's reserves.
He signed a one-month loan deal with Oxford United in August 2010, making his first-team début (and only appearance for Oxford) against Burton Albion in the Football League a few days later before returning to Chelsea.
