Daniel George Scarr (born 24 December 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre back for EFL League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on loan from Birmingham City of the Championship. He played for several years in non-league football, including as a member of the Stourbridge team that reached the third round of the 2016–17 FA Cup, before signing for Birmingham City in January 2017.

Life and career

Scarr's father, Ian, played non-league football as a goalkeeper before becoming a referee.[4] Scarr himself began his football career at Worcester College of Technology Football Academy in association with Worcester City.[5] He was club captain of the Academy's team, and it was at that stage that he was converted from right back to centre back.[6][7]

After completing his college course, Scarr played for Midland Alliance (ninth-tier) club Causeway United before moving up two steps of the football pyramid to join Redditch United of the Southern League Premier Division in 2014.[8][9]

A year later, he signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division (seventh-tier) club Stourbridge,[8] for which he played part-time while working as a fitness trainer in a gym in the Rubery area of Birmingham.[10] In 2015–16 he made 55 appearances in all competitions, performed well, and signed for another season.[8] He was a member of the Stourbridge team that progressed through four rounds of qualifying and two rounds proper to reach the third round of the 2016–17 FA Cup. Drawn away to Wycombe Wanderers of EFL League Two, Stourbridge conceded just after half-time, but with 20 minutes left, a long free kick into the penalty area fell to Scarr who stabbed it home to equalise; Adebayo Akinfenwa restored Wycombe's lead late on.[11] Scarr's performances earned him a place in the Northern Premier League Premier Division Team of the Season.[12]

He promptly went on trial with West Bromwich Albion,[13] and was watched by other clubs including Middlesbrough, Port Vale and Portsmouth, but it was Birmingham City – the club he supports – who signed him on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[14][15] Soon after joining the club, he tore a hip flexor and was out of action for the rest of the season.[16]

Scarr joined Wycombe Wanderers on 31 August 2017, on loan until 1 January 2018.[17] After two matches as an unused substitute,[18] Scarr made his Football League debut on 12 September, in the starting eleven for the League Two fixture away to Mansfield Town; he played the whole match, which ended goalless.[19]
