Career

Club

Perth Glory

On 22 February 2013, Daniel De Silva signed professional youth contract for Perth Glory.[2] De Silva chose to sign for Perth after a deal with English Premier League side Everton fell through due to complications obtaining a visa.[3] On 2 March 2013, De Silva made his professional debut for Perth Glory aged 15, in the 2-1 home victory against Sydney FC. De Silva came on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Matías Córdoba, making him the second youngest player in A-league history.[4][5] On 29 October 2014, he scored his first senior goal in the FFA Cup Quarter Final against Melbourne Victory in the first period of extra time.[6][7]

AS Roma

On 13 June 2014, Serie A side Roma announced that De Silva would join them at the conclusion of the 2014–15 A-League season for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be A$2.5m.[8][9][10] The transfer was cancelled in August 2015 after Perth Glory did not receive the first installment of the agreed transfer fee.[11]

Roda

On 26 August, Perth Glory initially announced that De Silva had joined Roda on a two-year loan deal, later confirming a full transfer to Roda.[11][12][13]

International

De Silva scored his first goal for the Australia U20's in a man of the match performance against Colombia during the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in a 1-1 draw.

De Silva was also included in Ange Postecoglou's initial 43-man squad for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup
