Playing career
Senda started his career as an apprentice with Southampton.[1] He joined Wycombe as a striker during the 1998/99 season, and made his Wycombe debut as a substitute during the home game with Oldham Athletic in March 1999, although he had to wait until January 2000 for his full debut. He scored his first goal at first team level during the 3-1 victory at Wrexham the following month. He was subsequently converted to a right wing back role by Lawrie Sanchez and became a first team regular and a favourite with the fans.
The arrival of Tony Adams as Wycombe boss in November 2003 saw the player eventually preferred in a right midfield position and impressed enough to be awarded a new two year contract in April 2004.
With the arrival of John Gorman in November 2004, Senda was employed as a right full back and enjoyed much success working on the right flank with winger Kevin Betsy. Senda was then out of contract with Wycombe Wanderers and had been due to sign for Luton Town but that deal failed to materialise. Senda publicly criticised his agent claiming his agent wanted 'too much' from the deal. Senda subsequently sacked his agent.
He also had trials with Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers before finally completing a deadline-day deal with Millwall on 31 August 2006.
Senda was injured in the final game of the season on 3 May 2008 against Swindon at The County Ground, a game in which he also scored his only goal for the club.[2] In a brief interview with the South London Press, Senda thanked the Swindon fans for applauding him off the pitch and Lions supporters and players for their support since the injury stating: "It was quite humbling."[3] He spent 16 months on the sidelines before his contract expired at the end of the 2008–09 season. He was then offered a one month contract on 27 July 2009 in order to prove his fitness.
He signed for Torquay United on 16 September 2010 after playing reserve team games against Exeter City and Forest Green Rovers[4]
Senda signed for Bristol Rovers as a free agent on 18 February 2011 after leaving Torquay on 16 December 2010. He was one of seventeen players released by the team in May 2011.[5]
Barnet
Danny signed a one-year deal for Barnet on 26 July 2011.[6] On his debut, away to Morecambe, he was part of a defence that kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win.[7]
