Matthew Shaun Kilgallon (born January 8 1984 in York) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Sheffield United.
[edit] Career[edit] Leeds UnitedA product of the youth set-up at Leeds, Kilgallon first made a senior appearance for Leeds in 2004, scoring two goals that season and working his way into the England Under-21 set-up. Once Leeds had dropped to the Championship, Killa (his nick-name from his team mates) began to make more appearances and held down a more regular place in the 1st eleven. He played a major role in the club's run through to the 2006 play-offs, helping them make the final. Kilgallon played most of Leeds's matches of the first half of the 2006-07 season in new manager, Dennis Wise's new look Leeds team, keeping experienced centre-backs Sean Gregan and Hayden Foxe out of the team. Having been the subject of a failed £1 million bid from Premiership side Reading at the start of the 2006-07 season he was finally transferred to Sheffield United during that seasons January transfer window. [edit] Sheffield UnitedKilgallon signed for Sheffield United on January 8 2007 for £1.75 million rising to £2 million and with a 20% sell on clause.[1] Despite recovering from an early injury he found it difficult to force himself into Neil Warnock’s plans and did not make his first team debut until the 1-0 loss at Bolton on March 31st of that year.[2] He did not score a competitive goal for the Blades until 15 December 2007 when he netted the winner in a 1-0 home victory over local rivals Barnsley.[3] Kilgallon became a regular in the Blades first team, his importance being highlighted when he was voted Sheffield United Player of the Season at the end of the 2008-2009 season.[4] [edit] Statistics
