Kevin Patrick Foley (born 1 November 1984) is an English born football defender, who plays for Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers and has represented the Republic of Ireland at international level.

[edit] Club Career

Born in Luton, Foley progressed through the youth ranks at hometown club Luton Town, finally making the first team squad in 2002–03. He made his league debut on 19 April 2003, in a 2–2 draw with Bristol City. The following season he established himself as first choice and was named Luton's Young Player Of The Season, an honour he also received in the next season too.

He won promotion to the Championship in 2005, and played 2 seasons at this level before the club dropped back down to League One. Signed by former Ireland coach Mick McCarthy, Foley joined Wolves in a three-year deal on 14 August 2007 for an undisclosed fee.

Foley won the Wolves Fan's Player of the Season for 2008–09, the "Championship Winning Season", ahead of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Jody Craddock. He is contracted to Wolves until Summer 2013.^[1] Kevin made his first start in the Premiership in a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United. An injury in the match has however kept him out of the team since.

[edit] International Career

Foley qualified to play for Ireland as his parents are from County Kerry. He made his debut for Ireland U21s in May 2004 against Scotland.

On 29 May 2009, Foley made his debut for Republic of Ireland against Nigeria in an international friendly.^[2]
