On 5 August 2021, Daly signed for newly-promoted League Two side Hartlepool United on loan.[5] He made his debut for Hartlepool as a late substitute in a 1–0 victory against Crawley Town.[6] Huddersfield recalled Daly on 17 January 2022.[7] Daly made 27 apperances with 7 goals leaving the club as top scorer

On 18 January 2022, the day after being recalled from Hartlepool United, Daly returned to League Two to join Bradford City on loan until the end of the season.[8]

International career

He has represented England at international youth levels, including under-17, where he received 10 caps including his participation at the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, which included scoring the winning goal in the 2–1 win over Israel under-17s in their first match,[9] which would eventually lead to a semi-final defeat to the Netherlands under-17s on a penalty shootout,[10] although Daly did score England's second penalty.[11] In May 2019, Daly was part of the England U18s squad that competed at the Slovakia Cup.[12]
