Daley earned his most recent cap during the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, where he scored in a 4-0 win over Grenada.
Daley started his club career with Portmore in the Jamaican National Premier League before joining the USL's Charleston Battery. After 10 months in Charleston, Daley signed with England's Bradford City and played with fellow Jamaicans Donovan Ricketts and Jermaine Johnson during his 18-month term with the club.
