Dan Happe, born on 28 September 1998 (age 27), is an English central defender with Aberdeen. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.92m), he wears squad number 26 and brings the obvious physical profile for the middle of the back line.
His career has been shaped mainly at Leyton Orient. He was in the senior picture there by 2016–17, making two league appearances that season, and went on to make 43 league appearances across three seasons. That Orient spell remains the substantial part of his senior career rather than a footnote.
At Aberdeen in 2026–27, Happe has made six league appearances and five League Cup appearances, scoring once in that competition. Across all competitions for the club, he has 11 appearances and one goal.
Happe’s career to date is that of a tall English centre-half whose main body of work came at Leyton Orient, with Aberdeen now the next stage of a straightforward senior career.
