Daniel Namaso Edi-Mesumbe Loader (born 28 August 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Primeira Liga club Porto.

Club career

[edit]

Reading

[edit]

Loader was born in Reading, Berkshire, and started his career in the youth team of Wycombe Wanderers before joining the under-13 side at his hometown club Reading in 2012.[3] He studied at Leighton Park School and then The Forest School. In 2016 he won the Maurice Edelston Memorial Trophy for the best academy schoolboy at the club.[4] In the summer of 2016 he started a two-year scholarship, but was quickly promoted to the under-23 side after a number of games and went on to represent the side in the EFL Trophy campaign.[3]

He made his professional debut for the first team at the age of sixteen in August 2017, coming on as a substitute for Leandro Bacuna in extra time in the 3–1 victory over Millwall in the EFL Cup.[5] In the process he became only the third Reading player to make his debut under the age of seventeen.[3] At the end of the month he signed his first professional contract when he turned seventeen.[6] Prolific for the youth team, he was given a chance in the first team under José Gomes and became the youngest Reading player to reach 20 appearances.[7] On 27 April, he scored his first senior goal against Middlesbrough.[8] Loader was close to a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers before Wolves pulled out of the move due to Reading upping the price at the last moment.[9] A few days later he scored the winning penalty in round 2 of the EFL Cup against Wycombe Wanderers.[10]

Porto

[edit]

On 20 August 2020, FC Porto announced the signing of Loader for Porto B, on a two-year contract.[11] He made 32 appearances for the reserve team in his first season, finishing with 8 goals, the highest tally on the team. Loader began the following season with Porto B and went on to score 15 goals. He was named in the senior squad for the first time for a league match against Boavista on 30 October.[12] He came off the bench late in the match to replace centre-forward Evanilson, and he scored in added time, sealing a 4–1 win.[13]

Loader started the 2022–23 season by winning the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira after being handed a surprising first start for Porto in a game that they ran out 3–0 winners over Tondela.[14]

On 23 January 2024, Namaso extended his contract with Porto until June 2028.[15]

International career

[edit]

Loader is eligible to represent England and Cameroon. He has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 level and under-20.[4] He was a member of the England U-17 team that finished runners-up to Spain in the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship held in May in Croatia, making a total of five appearances in the tournament.[3]

In September 2017, Loader was called up to England U17 team for the 2017 FIFA U17 World Cup.[16] Loader scored twice in a group stage game against Iraq[17] and came off the bench in the quarter-final against the United States.[18] He did not feature in the final as England defeated Spain to lift the trophy.[19]

In September 2018, Loader scored twice for the England U19 team against the Netherlands.[20]

On 28 May 2019, Loader was called up to the England U20 for the 2019 Toulon Tournament.[21] He scored his first goal for the U20 age group on his ninth appearance; a 3–0 win over Iceland U21s at Wycombe on 19 November 2019.[22]

Personal life

[edit]

His brother, Ben Loader, is a professional rugby player with the Stormers.[23]

Ahead of the 2022/23 season, he stated to the Portuguese press that his preference was to be professionally addressed as Danny Namaso rather than Danny Loader.[24]
