Daniel Martín Alexandre, commonly known as Dani (born 16 September 1981), is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Atlético Baleares as a striker.

Club career

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Dani started playing professionally with hometown's Real Betis, and appeared for its B side during three years, a spell which included six goals in 27 games in 1999–2000. On 4 November 2001, he made his first team - and La Liga - debut, playing the second half of a 0–1 home loss to Real Zaragoza, finishing the season with 17 games and five goals.

After having missed most of the 2002–03 season due to a serious knee injury, occurred in April 2002[1] and relapsed in August,[2] Dani was knocked unconscious during a league game against Deportivo de La Coruña in November 2003, and was unable to remember a disallowed goal he had scored during the game. However, he continue to score important goals for Betis, with relatively little playing time, most notably the extra time winner in the final of the 2005 Copa del Rey against CA Osasuna,[3] adding the only goal in a 1–0 win against Chelsea in the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League group stage.[4]

On 18 January 2007, Dani scored against Real Madrid, eliminating the eventual league champions from domestic cup contention. His equalizing goal gave Betis a 1–1 draw, putting them through to the quarter-finals on the away goals rule.[5] He finished the league with only 14 appearances, not being able to find the net.

Under Betis contract until 2010, Dani would however join second division outfit Cádiz CF, also in Andalusia,[6][7] in a one-year loan deal including the possibility of definitive purchase at the end of the term. With his 10 goals in 34 league matches, Cádiz could not, however, avoid relegation.

Dani stayed in the division for the following season, being again loaned, this time to Alicante side Elche CF. His campaign was marred by injuries and dramatic loss of form, as he did not manage to find the net and only appeared in 1/3 of the matches.

Returning to Betis in July, Dani immediately underwent a knee operation, only being made available in January 2010; however, he was one of the club's last offensive options and, late in the month, signed a one 1/2-year deal with second level's Recreativo de Huelva.

On 6 February 2011, Dani scored the game's only goal as Recreativo defeated Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.[8]
