Daniel Bogdanovic first featured for the Blacks as a guest-player in the 1998/99 season. He played against Xewkija Tigers in the Jum il-Helsien Cup final and against Sannat Lions in the Super Cup semi-final. He scored from the penalty spot in the 2-1 win over the Lions.

Daniel has played in attack for Sliema W., Naxxar L., Valletta and Marsaxlokk over the past five seasons. He has scored a total of 38 Premier division goals in 71 (Premier) appearances with these clubs.

The prolific striker has also played abroad in Yugoslavia, his country of origin, in Tunisia (Esperance Sportive Tunis), in Hungary (Vasas SC) and Bulgaria (Cherno More Varna).

Daniel has also played for Malta at Under/21 (one appearance) and senior level. He has made 16 full international appearances, in which he also managed to score a goal. Daniel made his debut on February 9, 2002 in a Rothmans International Tournament match against Jordan (2-1). He scored his only goal at this level against Kazakhstan in a 2-2 draw friendly match on February 12, 2003. His last appearance was in another home friendly against Poland (0-4) December 14, 2003.

Daniel, who has reached double figures in Premier division goals three times in four seasons, has not had the best of starts to this year scoring twice in seven appearances, which is below his strike rate of over a goal every other match. Bogdanovic has often enjoyed stretches in which he carried his team on his young shoulders. The voters of the M.F.A. Player of the Month award have noticed this and twice recognized him as the best among his peers: December 2001 (with Naxxar Lions) and April 2004 (with Marsaxlokk).

The tall, slender physique, superior quickness, surprising speed and poisonous finish make Bogdanovic a tough customer for any defence to handle. The Blacks can indeed consider themselves lucky to have landed the services of such a gifted player who has yet to reach the pinnacle of his career. Daniel is married in Ghajnsielem and resides here as well, so in a sense it is also a coming home of sorts for this brilliant striker.

Daniel was a key figure in Ghajnsielem's successful bid to become 2004/05 league champions. He contributed 15 league goals to the Blacks' record haul of 57, often breaking the deadlock with one of his strikes. Daniel often sacrificed himself going back to midfield and sometimes even defence to lend a hand with the team under pressure.
