Club career
[edit]Start
[edit]Daland signed with Start before the 2019 season. A knee injury ruined his entire first season at the club, which meant that he only made his league debut for the club on 17 June 2020 in a 2–2 draw against Strømsgodset.[2] Four days later, he scored his first league goal in a 2–2 draw against Sandefjord.[3] His strong performances during the 2020 season meant that he was awarded the IK Start Young Player of the Year award in January 2021.[4]
Cercle Brugge
[edit]In May 2021, Daland signed a four-year contract with Belgian Pro League club Cercle Brugge.[5] He made his debut as a starter on 24 July 2021 in a match against Beerschot which was interrupted after 55 minutes due to heavy rainfall.[6] The match was continued on 27 July, and ended in a 1–0 win for Cercle.[7]
Cardiff City
[edit]On 20 August 2024, Daland signed for EFL Championship club Cardiff City on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[8]
