Club career
Melbourne Knights
His progress as a footballer was delayed by a knee reconstruction, sustained during his playing days with ex NSL club Melbourne Knights. Daniel also was a member of the Australian Under 20 Side and missed out on a place in the Under-20 World Cup due to a knee reconstruction.[1]
Melbourne Victory
After signing for Melbourne Victory, Piorkowski made 11 appearances and was signed to a new two-year deal in April 2006.[2] Piorkowski was an important part of the Victory defence during their premiership winning season in 06/07 along with Adrian Leijer and Rodrigo Vargas. He unfortunately injured his knee during the season and did not feature in the finals series.[3][4] On 13 February 2008 he was tabled a new contract by Victory but remained undecided whether to stay with the club.[5] On 13 May 2008 he finally decided to pursue his ambitions of playing in Europe.[6][7][8]
