Dan Housego was educated; first at Moulsford Prep School, Oxford, then at The Oratory School, Woodcote. He attended the Middlesex Cricket Academy. He made his first-class debut versus Derbyshire in August 2008, aged nineteen.

He is reputed to be strong off both the back and front foot and an all-round athlete, having played youth team football for Oxford United and won the Under-12 national 200m championship. He has also played for Berkshire in the Minor Counties Championship on numerous occasions.

He represented Middlesex in 15 first-class matches (2008–2011) and 5 Twenty20 matches (2008–2009). He left the staff after the end of the 2011 season.

On 25 January 2012, Housego joined Gloucestershire on a three-year deal, taking him to the end of the 2014 season. Housego had previously been at Gloucestershire as part of their youth academy.[1]
