Daniel "Danny" Charles Armstrong (born 10 October 1997) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga I club Dinamo București.
Career
Armstrong began his career playing youth football with Scottish club Hamilton Academical.[1] After almost 10 years with the club, Armstrong was signed by EFL Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers on 27 October 2015, agreeing a three-year deal with the side.[1]
After primarily playing for the club's youth sides, Armstrong was loaned out to Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic at end of January 2018, with the player expressing a desire to play first-team football.[2][3] His first appearance for the club came as a second-half substitute for Andy Ryan in a 0–0 draw with Livingston.[4]
He was released by Wolves at the end of the 2017–18 season. Armstrong then signed a short-term contract with Raith Rovers, and scored five goals in 11 appearances for the Kirkcaldy club.[5] Armstrong moved to Scottish Championship club Ross County in January 2019.[5] He scored on his debut for Ross County against East Fife in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Armstrong left County on 2 September 2019,[6] and then returned to Raith Rovers in October 2019.[7]
After four seasons with Kilmarnock, Armstrong signed for Romanian club Dinamo București.[8]
