Dan Happe, born on 28 September 1998 (age 27), is an English central defender with Aberdeen. At 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is a tall centre-half, and he wears squad number 26.
His career is still shaped most clearly by Leyton Orient. Happe came through there and made his senior league breakthrough in 2016-17, playing twice that season. Across three seasons with Orient, he made 43 league appearances, which remains the core spell of his professional career rather than a passing line on the CV.
He is now with Aberdeen, where his 2026-27 season has included two league appearances and three in the League Cup, with one goal in that competition. In total for Aberdeen, he has made five appearances and scored once.
Happe’s career to date is a straightforward one: a defender formed and largely defined by Leyton Orient, now trying to build a fresh spell in Scotland with Aberdeen.
