Dan Happe

Dan Happe of Aberdeen was born in Tower Hamlets, England on 28 September 1998 (age 28).

Dan Happe, born in England on 28 September 1998 (age 28), is an imposing 6ft 4in (1.92m) central defender now with Aberdeen, where he wears squad number 26.

His senior career has been shaped chiefly at Leyton Orient. Across three seasons there, he made 43 league appearances, with his earliest listed league involvement coming in 2016-17. That spell remains the substantial part of his story, rather than a passing stop on the way to somewhere else.

At Aberdeen in 2026-27, Happe has made six league appearances and five more in the League Cup, scoring once in that competition. Across all competitions for the club, he has 11 appearances and one goal.

Happe’s career to date is a straightforward one: an English centre-half whose main body of work came at Leyton Orient, followed by a move into Scottish football with Aberdeen.
