After transferring to Footscray, Daniels appeared in all but one of their 25 games in the 1985 VFL season, including three finals.
A wingman, he struggled in 1986 with a groin injury and returned to Claremont the following year.
He didn't see out the 1987 season at Claremont and instead crossed to Perth where he finished his career.
