Career

Blind began his career in the youth academy of his hometown club, AFC Ajax; the same club where his father Danny made his name as a professional.[1] Daley is a product of the Ajax youth system and, while officially still a B-junior, he became a mainstay in the A-juniors during the 2007–08 season.[2] before earning promotion to the Ajax first team for the 2008–09 season.[3] He signed his first professional contract at age seventeen tying him to the club until 1 July 2010.[2]

On 7 December 2008, Blind made his debut in the Ajax first team in the away match against FC Volendam. Blind made an immediate impact when he forced a cornerkick through a Volendam defender, from which Jan Vertonghen scored the winning goal for Ajax.[3]

On 19 December 2008, he signed a contract extension keeping him with Ajax until 30 June 2013[4][5]

International career

Blind was called up to the U-17 squad for 2007 European Championships. After missing out the opening match through suspension, he scored a brace against Iceland in the second match[6] but picked up an ankle injury in that match that ended his participation in the remainder of the tournament.[7] He was called up to the U-21's for several 2011 European Championship qualifiers but did not leave the bench. On 13 October he made his first appearance in the campaign, coming on as a substitute for Ajax teammate Siem de Jong in a 4–0 win away at Poland.

On 5 January 2010 he joined on loan FC Groningen for the rest of the 2009–10 season[8]

Personal life

He is the son of former Ajax defender Danny Blind.[2]
