Daniel Sean Preston (born 26 September 1991) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Northern Premier League Division One Midlands club Bedworth United.

[3] Included in the squads for first-team pre-season friendlies,[4] Preston injured a medial knee ligament playing for a reserve XI against Tamworth.

[5] Following an injury crisis, Preston, still in the second year of his academy scholarship, was given a squad number and made his first-team debut on 22 September 2009 as a second-half substitute in the League Cup third-round match at Sunderland, replacing the injured Stuart Parnaby in the 79th minute; he received a yellow card in stoppage time.

[7] He went straight into the starting eleven for the following day's visit to Notts County, which ended in a 5–0 defeat as goalkeeper Chris Adamson and defender Paul Downing were sent off and Preston himself was booked.

[citation needed] Preston joined Conference North rivals Barrow on a one-month loan on 18 October 2013,[15] with whom he made five appearances.

[33] Preston's move to Sutton Coldfield Town was short lived, as on 12 September 2019, he was announced as part of a double signing for Southern League Division One Central side Bedworth United along with Blaize Punter.

[34] Preston was born in Birmingham, West Midlands,[1] and brought up in the Kings Norton district of the city,[2] where he attended St Thomas Aquinas School.
