Danny Laws came to footballing prominence when he turned the West Suffolk College Football School, Bury St Edmunds, into a huge success.He coupled this with coaching Suffolk to their first ever victory in the FA County Youth Cup with a memorable victory at Portman Road lin the spring of 2005.

He joined Norwich in September 2005 as their Education Director for their Academy but quit in June 2006 to take up a PE teaching post in September. On 19th June 2006, he was appointed joint manager, with Chris Tracey, of Ridgeons League side Needham Market. Tracey stepped down from his role to rejoin AFC Sudbury in July 2007 leaving Danny solely in charge.

In the 2009/10 season, Needham Market won both the Ridgeons League and the Ridgeons Challenge Cup.

Laws took over from interim manager Lee Norfolk at Leiston at the end of March 2013 and helped Leiston achieve a highest-ever position in the club’s history as they ended the season in 12th place in the Ryman Premier. After a successful pre-season and the acquisition of several experienced personnel, expectations were high at Victory Road especially after a good start to the season. However, results have declined somewhat – culminating in just one win, and that a Suffolk Premier Cup victory at Haverhill Rovers, in 11 matches – and this has seen the Blues enter the relegation places.

He resigned from the managerial postion at Leiston on 15th October 2013.

As of 2019/20 he was Head Coach at AFC Sudbury.
