Daniel Jamie North (born 7 September 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Barton Town, where he is also first team manager.

On 14 August 2007, North scored Grimsby's 7,000th goal in all competitions, in the League Cup tie at home to Burnley.
For the 2008–09 season, North struggled from fitness and injury problems from the start, and following the dismissal of Alan Buckley, he found himself out of favour with new manager Mike Newell.
Newell had brought in several new signings such as Adam Proudlock and Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro, which eventually left North with only run outs in the reserves, even finding it hard to claim a place on the substitute bench.
Following an impressive pre-season by the player, which was also coupled with injuries and suspensions to fellow strikers, North briefly won his place back in the team at the start of the 2009–10 season.
In June 2010, North agreed to join Irish club St Patrick's Athletic until the end of the League of Ireland season in October 2010, taking the number 9 jersey previously worn by Alex Williams who left in the summer transfer window.

North won the League of Ireland Player of the Month and the St Patrick's Athletic Supporters Player of the Month for June 2011 after his goals against Derry City, Dundalk, Galway United, Bray Wanderers, two assists against Drogheda United and all round excellent play.
North was part of the St. Pats side that won the 2011 Leinster Senior Cup after beating Bohemians 2–0 in the final at Dalymount Park, he set up Dave McMillan's goal to make it 2–0.
