Dani de Wit

Dani de Wit of FC Utrecht was born in Hoorn, Netherlands on 28 January 1998 (age 28).

Dani de Wit, born on 28 January 1998 (age 28), is a Dutch central attacking midfielder with FC Utrecht. He wears no. 20 and is valued at around £2m by Transfermarkt.

His standout early production came with Jong Ajax in 2017-2018, when he scored 13 goals in 32 league appearances. That remains the clearest marker of what he offers: a midfielder who gets into scoring positions often enough to make a real difference, rather than simply tidying up behind the forwards.

At Utrecht in 2026-2027, he has made 14 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice. That includes 11 Eredivisie appearances with two goals, along with two European Play-offs appearances and one in the KNVB Beker.

De Wit’s career has been built around his attacking contribution from midfield. He is not a headline name, but his record shows a player whose value lies in adding goals from an area of the pitch where they are not always guaranteed.
