Manchester United and Derby County (1997-2003)
Danny Higginbotham, who came from his own youth, did not make his breakthrough in the first team at Manchester United between 1997 and 2000. From November 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999 he played on loan for the Belgian second division club Royal Antwerp . On June 5, 2000, he moved to Derby County for £ 2,000,000 .

This succeeded the team around the regular Danny Higginbotham (37 games / 1 goal) in the Premier League 2001/02 not, County rose rather than penultimate in the second division. After a disappointing season in the First Division 2002/03 , he left the club in early 2003.
Southampton FC (2003-2006)
After only a few days on loan, Higginbotham moved to Southampton FC on February 13, 2003 . With his new team he reached the final of the FA Cup 2002/03 at the end of the season and was nominated for the final by coach Gordon Strachan . Without the not used Higginbotham, Southampton lost the game 1-0 against Arsenal . After an early first round in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup , the Saints only reached twelfth place in the 2003/04 Premier League . After the first division relegation in 2005 as bottom of the table, he scored three goals in thirty-seven second division games, but did not make it back in 2005/06 .
Stoke City and Sunderland AFC (2006-2008)
After Danny Higginbotham rejected a contract extension in Southampton, he moved to Stoke City on August 2, 2006 and signed a three-year contract. With seven goals in forty-four league games of the Football League Championship 2006/07 , he managed a good season in Stoke, but the team missed promotion to the Premier League in eighth place.
