Danny Coyne (born 27 August 1973 in Prestatyn, Wales) is a professional footballer. He currently plays for English Championship club Burnley.
Coyne, a goalkeeper, signed for Burnley in the summer of 2004 for a fee of £25,000 from Leicester City. He had been a regular in the Welsh Under 21 team and, whilst at Grimsby Town, won his first senior cap for Wales. He was a regular for Grimsby for 4 years when Premiership team Leicester City moved for him. He struggled at Leicester, usually playing second fiddle to Ian Walker who himself was England's keeper.
He had previously struggled to hold down a starting place for Wales, winning 11 caps in 10 years but at Burnley he had managed to finally secure his first team place after several fine performances in the 2004-2005 season. After recovering from an injury sustained at QPR in that season, he went into the 2005-2006 season as first choice for Wales' World Cup Qualifiers. He then suffered a knee injury in the game against Brighton & Hove Albion on the 24th of September 2005 and did not play again that season. Coyne was not yet deemed fully-fit by Burnley F.C. manager Steve Cotterill at the start of the 2005-06 season, although he was selected at the start of the season for the Welsh squad before he had played again for Burnley. Coyne returned to Burnley's first team squad, albeit one severely depleted by injuries, as a substitute in late October 2006.
