He has very good reasons. See the club's notice on the official website:

After a meeting with Dowse, Danny made it clear that the pressures on family life with a new born baby and the extra travelling required in our league meant he wanted to unfortunately leave.

A big blow that as Danny was a quality winger who didn’t get as many chances as he probably should’ve done last season.
Family life may have been part of the problem I guess so good luck to him back at Sheppey although very surprised he’s dropped down to that level again, he’s far to good for that.

Always part of the problem, family.
That’s why we use our Saturdays to escape them!

So Josh Hill to Dulwich then. Does that mean he will link up with Ronnie Vint as a centre back pairing, or competing against Ronnie for a starting place?

Wouldn't mind seeing Ronnie back at PP, as a player who has come through our academy system, has experience with us at both NL South and NL itself. Earned himself a few Man of Match awards at Dulwich during his loan periods, but seemed to be out of favour with SK, even though, to me, he didn't seem to let the side down. Used to playing alongside Tom Bonner. Now approaching only his 26th birthday, he should be close to coming towards the best of his career.

Only my thoughts of course. But perhaps with Dowse now in charge, it could be a fresh start for Ronnie on familiar territory.

Ronnie Vint signed a contract through to the end of the forthcoming season when he joined Dulwich in January, so he's unlikely to be leaving any time soon. The only other player already contracted to Dulwich for next season was former Bromley captain Jack Holland, the other regular centre back. Tyrone Sterling played mostly at centre back for Dulwich and he's gone to Dover. (Personally I feel he's much better as a left back.) Dulwich also had Taofiq Olomowewe, a loanee from Weymouth, as a centre back option and he's gone to Welling. Dulwich played with three centre backs for most of last season and only switched to a flat back four when injuries and loss of form intervened. I don't know much about Josh Hill, other than he scored the first goal in Dartford's win at Dulwich last August, but he may well be earmarked for a place in a back three alongside Vint and Holland.

Josh Hill has a habit of scoring against Dartford.

Always liked Luke. Think he was never used properly the few chances he got last season. Wish him well despite it being at Dover!

Gone back to where he originally came from.

Gutted as was hoping we’d get him.
