Dan joined The Lions on 24th July 2020 after leaving Stockport County at the end of the 19/20 campaign.

The Chesterfield-born defender said he was lured to Nethermoor by Joint Manager Russ O’Neill’s presentation of his plan for the player and the specific role he had for him.

Dan, said: “Russ impressed me as he gave me confidence as he outlined the role I would play for Guiseley and the clear plans he has for the team going forward. A few players who are close to me such as Ash Palmer and Andy Halls also told me what a good club Guiseley is. It seems a good club to be at. I like to play on the right side of a back three, a role I believe I can excel in.”

Cowan started his career playing for Buxton Juniors and New Mills before joining the Macclesfield Town youth set up. He broke into the Macclesfield first team by the end of the 2013/14 season, resulting in Macclesfield offering him his first professional deal that summer.

He gained vital experience out on loan at Ashton United and Chorley and went on to make 50 appearances for the Silkmen.

At the end of the 2016/17 season he left Macclesfield in search of a new challenge signing for Stockport County, managed by Jim Gannon, who had been impressed by his skill and versatility in past encounters against County.

In his first season with Stockport Dan featured in the majority of games in the National League North, proving to be an assured presence in the defence. In the curtailed 2019/20 season he made 31 appearances.

On 4th December 2020 it was announced Dan left the club by mutual consent after making eight appearances since his move from Stockport five months earlier.
