On return, Daneil played for a number of clubs in the TT Pro League, the premier football competition in Trinidad & Tobago, including W Connection FC where he made 16 appearances. In 2014, the defender moved to Vietnam and joined top-division club Hanoi FC on loan from W Connection.

However, he left the club a season later and returned to the MLS on loan with Chicago Fire. But the loan move lasted for just six months during which Daneil played only six times.

Following his return from the MLS, Daneil left W Connection and moved to Honduras with Juticalpa FC in 2017. Next he shifted to Saudi Arabia and played for Al-Orobah FC before completing a move to India, where he joined the then I-League side Mohun Bagan.
