Daniel Job (born 26 August 2005) is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a winger for Major League Soccer club FC Dallas.
In 2024, he was loaned from Future Pro to Sarpsborg 08 in Norway. He had to start playing for the B team in the Third Division, but following 8 goals in 13 games,[1] Sarpsborg 08 exercised their option to buy Job permanently and gave him a place in the first-team squad in July 2024. His new contract lasted until the end of 2028.[2] He made his Eliteserien debut on the next day, on 20 July 2024.[3] His first start came in August 2024 against Haugesund, whereupon he also scored his first Eliteserien goal.[4]
Ahead of the 2025 season, he would need to improve his defensive work in order to continue his progress in Norway.[5] To gain more playing time, Sarpsborg 08 decided to loan him to Egersund for the first half of 2025.[6]
In February 2026, Job joined Kongsvinger as part of the deal that saw Noa Williams move to Sarpsborg 08.[7] He quickly established himself in Kongsvinger's attack, recording seven goals and seven assists in 19 league appearances during the 2026 season.
On 2 September 2026, Job was transferred to Major League Soccer club FC Dallas. He signed a U22 Initiative contract through the 2029–30 MLS season, with a club option for the 2030–31 season.[8] He joined Dallas after making 20 appearances in all competitions for Kongsvinger and scoring eight goals.[8]
