Club career

Early career

Daneels played in the youth department of Germinal Beerchot until he was scouted to the academy of PSV in 2010. There, he progressed through the various youth teams. He made his Eerste Divisie debut for Jong PSV on 25 August 2017 in a 2–1 win against Helmond Sport as an 80th-minute substitute for Joey Konings. On 30 March 2018, he scored his first goal in a 3–0 away victory against Jong Ajax.

RKC

On 31 May 2019, Daneels left PSV as a free agent and joined RKC Waalwijk on a two-year contract for the upcoming 2019–20 season. He made his debut for the club on 3 August in a 3–1 away loss to VVV-Venlo. He came on in the 85th minute of the game to replace Anas Tahiri.
