Daniel Sánchez Ayala (born November 7, 1990 in El Saucejo , Seville Province ) is a Spanish football player on the position of defender . Since summer 2011 he has been under contract with the English first division club Norwich City .

Club career

Career start in Spain

Ayala, who was born in 1990 in the city of El Saucejo in the province of Seville, began his career with his home club, CF El Saucejo , before moving to nearby Seville after only a short time in the offspring of his home club . He was signed by the Spanish club Sevilla FC and went through all youth leagues. After a few years in the club's own offspring, the young defensive player was promised a professional contract, which he refused and instead announced a move to England. He also was during this period just before the inclusion in the only just into the second division ascended B-team of FC Sevilla . As soon as the change was announced, Ayala left his home country and moved to the youth division of Liverpool FC , who paid the trained defender a training allowance of £ 160,000 and put him on a three-year contract. There he was mainly in the U-18 team of the club in the 2007/08 season, but also completed some games in the reserve team with play in the Premier Reserve League , with which he was in the final standings with a lead of 13 points the runners-up, the Manchester City reserve team , clearly deposed as champions. Due to his achievements, the trained defender, who can be used both in the left and right defensive position as well as a central defender, was used almost exclusively in the reserve team of Liverpool from the 2008/09 season. This season, however, the team from Liverpool could not really prevail and could only work their way up again in the 2009/10 season, where they finished the season in third place in the Premier Reserve League North . Previously, although he was injured at the time, he played in the final of the FA Youth Cup of the 2008/09 season, losing the two games based on the return leg with a total score of 2: 6 against the offspring of Arsenal .

Professional debut at Liverpool FC

After Ayala was able to convince in the preparatory phase for the 2009/10 season on the tour of the professional team through Thailand and Switzerland due to his performance, he was still in the first game of the season of Liverpool, a 1: 2 away defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on August 16 2009, used as a substitute. In the match he replaced the ailing Martin Škrtel from the 75th minute of the game . In the following round, the young Spaniard was on the pitch for the first time from the start. In the clear 4-0 home win over Stoke City , he played alongside Jamie Carragher and played through the full length of the match. In the further course of the season, in which Liverpool FC made it to seventh place in the table, Daniel Ayala was used in another three league games, two of them in the season finale and of these again in one over the full game. Shortly after his 19th birthday, Ayala's contract was extended by three more years to June 2012 in mid-November 2009. In order to collect match practice, the officials of the big Liverpool club decided to loan the Spanish defense route to another club. On September 11, 2010 Ayala was finally awarded to the English second division club Hull City , where he was used the same evening in a 2-0 away defeat against Cardiff City and played through. In his second appearance for Hull City, a 2-0 home win over Derby County , he scored the first professional goal of his career on September 14, 2010 and was one of two newcomers, along with Robert Koren , who went to Hull City that evening hit opposing goal. After his loan period was initially only aimed for a short period, it was extended by Liverpool on September 20 to January 1, 2011. On December 27, 2010, he finally returned a little early, but due to an injury, back to his home club and by this time had completed twelve games in the second division and contributed one goal.

After a regeneration phase, Ayala was presented with a new loan agreement in February 2011. This time at Derby County , which also played in the second division , against whom the Spaniard had also scored his first competitive goal as a professional and who signed him until the end of the season. The move had been delayed as the Spanish defender had to recover from his hamstring injury before making a move. After he played through all of his twelve league appearances at Hull City for the full length of the match, he did so with the exception of one encounter at the Derby city ​​club . Received six yellow cards at Hull City , he got four on his second loan, but was again active on the offensive, contributing two assists before returning to his regular club in Liverpool at the end of the season.

Norwich City

Despite the numerous appearances in the second division, he was unable to convince Liverpool FC of his qualities. In August 2011 he therefore moved to Norwich City , which will play first class from the 2011/12 season . He signed a four-year contract there.

On August 7, 2012 Ayala moved to the second division Nottingham Forest for a season on loan .

National team career

During his time at Sevilla FC, Ayala gained some experience in the Spanish youth national team, when he trained with the U-17 national team, but was not used in any official international match. Instead, he was only brought into the Spanish squad in 2011 due to his consistently strong performance by the Spanish U-21 national coach Luis Milla , when they met their age colleagues from France in a friendly international match in March 2011 . In the later 3-2 defeat against France on March 24, 2011, Daniel Ayala finally played through the full game.
