"It is always devastating when someone so young dies in these circumstances," Rugby Football League chief operating officer Ralph Rimmer said in a statement.
"Danny was a popular and talented player, having played at the highest level with Wales and for more than 12 seasons for Keighley Cougars and Halifax."
The match between the Cougars and the Skolars was abandoned after 16 minutes as a result of the incident.
