Career
As a talented 10 year old boy, Danilo moved to AGF Aarhus in 1997 and developed into one of the most promising talents in Danish football. His talent was rumoured widely and in 2002, at the age of only 15, he signed a contract with Spanish Valencia CF. He played 9 matches for the Valencia CF reserves with names like David Silva, Raul Albiol, Mohamed Sissoko and Jaime Gavilan. However, things didn't work out as expected when the reserves Valencia CF Mestalla suffered relegation to the Tercera División where young foreign talents were not allowed to play according to Spanish FA regulations. So he returned to Denmark and signed a contract with AGF. On the 12th of September 2004 (aged 17) he got his Danish Superliga debut for his childhood team AGF Aarhus in a home game against Viborg FF. But once again things did not quite work out as he had hoped and he was granted a free transfer by AGF. After 1½ years in Spain, playing Segunda División B for CD Eldense and Orihuela CF,he finally returned to Denmark on December 20, 2007 and signed a ½-year contract with Vejle BK,[1] which in 2008 was extended for another six months.[2] He left Vejle BK in January 2009 after the end of his contract and on 17 February 2009 he signed a deal with Danish 2nd Division side Hobro IK, helping them to win promotion to the Danish 1st Division in his very first season at the club.
