In January 2008 he linked up with West Bromwich Albion for a few days' training on trial. He then signed on loan for six months, with a view to a permanent deal.
On 31 January 2008, Daněk signed for Albion on loan for the rest of the season. His loan was extended at the end of the season by six months until 1 January 2009. His loan was terminated on 29 August 2008 without having made a first-team appearance for Albion. Daněk returned to FC Viktoria Plzeň afterwards. He won the Czech Cup with the club in 2010.
