Dan Happe

Dan Happe of Aberdeen was born in Tower Hamlets, England on 28 September 1998 (age 28).

Dan Happe, born on 28 September 1998 (age 28), is an English centre-back now with Aberdeen, where he wears the number 26 shirt. At 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is an imposing defender, built for the middle of the back line rather than for subtle reinvention elsewhere.

His career is tied most clearly to Leyton Orient. Across three seasons there, Happe made 43 league appearances, establishing the spell as the main body of his senior work rather than a passing stop on the way through.

At Aberdeen in 2026-27, he has made eight league appearances and five more in the League Cup, scoring once in that competition. That gives him 13 appearances and one goal across all competitions for the club.

Happe’s career to this point is a straightforward one: a centre-half shaped largely by Leyton Orient, now continuing in Scotland with Aberdeen.
