The following season he signed another loan deal, this time with Preston North End joining Jamaican teammates Ricardo Fuller and Claude Davis.
[6][8] In June 2005, he helped Portmore win the Jamaica National Premier League, with a 2–1 aggregate score in the play-off final against Tivoli Gardens.
[9] In March 2006, Daley and compatriot Shane Crawford moved to the United States to play for Charleston Battery on a two-year contract.
[15][17] He became a regular under new manager Stuart McCall failing to start just one game in the first half of the 2007–08 season but he scored only one goal which came against Chester City,[15] before he signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract in January 2008.
[21] Daley briefly returned to the side following his suspension, but was rested by McCall for a 2–2 draw with Brentford on 12 April 2008, when he came on as a second-half substitute,[22] after he had received abuse from fans in the club's previous game.
[29] Daley picked up another injury, this time pulling a hamstring during a 3–2 victory against Chesterfield, prompting manager McCall to bring in Steve Jones in on loan as cover.
[33] Despite missing the last three months of the season, Daley was voted into the League Two team of the year by his peers;[34] and without him Bradford fell out of the play-off spots and finished in ninth position.
Daley returned to training late in the year, before making his first appearance on the field on 2 December in a reserve team fixture with Oldham Athletic.
"[36] In February 2011, Daley was loaned to Bradford's League Two rivals Rotherham United, with Kevin Ellison moving in the opposite direction.
On 23 August 2011, Daley was given a trial at Scottish Premier League side Motherwell by his former manager at Bradford City, Stuart McCall.
[50] Three days later he was dropped from the Bradford City starting team for the first time in the 2007–08 English league season, after he and Jamaican teammate Donovan Ricketts had to be picked up by club chairman Mark Lawn when their flight back was delayed.
[51] Because of his knee injury, Daley went 19 months between two caps, from February 2009 when he played against Nigeria in London to September 2010 when he substituted Kavin Bryan against Costa Rica.
[36][52] Daley was unavailable for Jamaica for a period of time to concentrate on his career with Bradford City,[citation needed] but he was selected in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup squad.
