Daniel James Boxall (born 24 August 1977) is an English former professional footballer who played as a right back for Brentford, Bristol Rovers, Oldham Athletic and Crystal Palace. After two seasons in Ireland with Dublin City, he returned to England in 2006 to play non-League football and retired in 2008.
Club career
A right back, Boxall began his senior career at First Division club Crystal Palace and made 8 appearances during the 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons.[1][2][3] He made two appearances during Palace's single-season stay in the Premier League and spent most of 1997–98 on loan at Second Division club Oldham Athletic.[4][5] Having been hampered by an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered during his time at Selhurst Park,[6] Boxall was released by Crystal Palace in June 1998 and joined newly-relegated Third Division club Brentford on a free transfer.[1][7] He made 46 appearances and scored one goal during the Bees' Third Division-title winning 1998–99 season.[8][9]
A second anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in February 2000 kept Boxall out of match play until March 2002 and he made a number of late-2001–02 season appearances.[1][10] He was released after Brentford's Second Division play-off final defeat and played the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons with Third Division club Bristol Rovers.[1][11] After putting off a decision to retire,[6] Boxall played his subsequent career in the League of Ireland and English non-League football,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". before retiring due to injury in 2008.[12]
