Career
Daniell began cycling after being spotted at his school in British Cycling"s Go-Ride scheme. His first victory in a World Cup event came in October 2008, when he beat Yevhen Bolibrukh of the Ukraine. He took the victory in the kilo event with a time of 1:01.996, a clear margin of over a second over the rest of the field
Subsequently he badly twisted his leg whilst riding on the road in the autumn of 2012, resulting in him losing 40 percent of the cartilage in his joint.
He was dropped from the British team before Christmas 2012 as he was not performing at the same level as he was before his injury. In 2013 he moved from his native Middlesbrough to East Kilbride, taking up a part-time position as a coach at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow.
