Dan Happe, born on 28 September 1998 (age 27), is an English central defender with Aberdeen, where he wears squad number 26. At 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is a commanding centre-half, which is not exactly a drawback in Scottish football.
His career is defined above all by Leyton Orient. Across three seasons there, Happe made 43 league appearances, building the bulk of his senior football in one place rather than drifting around the margins. His first league involvement came in 2016-17, when he made two appearances.
At Aberdeen in 2026-27, he has made three league appearances and four in the League Cup, scoring once in that competition. In total, his Aberdeen record stands at seven appearances and one goal across all competitions.
Happe’s career to this point has been built mainly on his Leyton Orient spell, with Aberdeen now the next senior step for a tall English defender trying to establish himself in Scotland.
