Contents

He was on the books of Bradford City as a youngster until he moved to Leeds United aged 11. Having played 45 matches for Leeds at League One level and once in the Championship, he transferred to Premier League club Aston Villa in August 2009 for £6 million. In 2012, he returned to Leeds for a short loan spell. Delph had a successful start to the 2012–13 Premier League season, leading Villa manager Paul Lambert to call for his inclusion in the England squad. [4] In July 2015, Delph joined Manchester City for £8 million. In 2019, he moved to Everton, where he went on to spend three seasons, before announcing his retirement from football in September 2022.

Delph represented England at under-19 and under-21 level and made his senior debut in a friendly against Norway on 3 September 2014.

Club career

Born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, [5] Delph started his career in football as a youngster at Bradford City. [6] Delph left City in September 2001 to join Leeds United after he was recommended to their academy coach Greg Abbott by former Bradford manager Paul Jewell, whose son played with Delph. [7] [8] He went to Tong Secondary School, which he left in 2006 to sign a two-year scholarship with Leeds United, at the age of 16.[ citation needed ] He completed his studies at the partner school to Leeds, Boston Spa School.[ citation needed ]

After a string of impressive performances in spring 2007, Delph was made captain of the Leeds Reserves. He was given his debut at Leeds as a substitute in the final match of the 2006–07 season against Derby County on 6 May 2007, a match in which Robert Bayly was also given a debut for Leeds. [9] He was awarded his first professional contract on 11 January 2008,[ citation needed ] and made two appearances for Leeds in the 2007–08 season, both as a substitute. [10]

Delph impressed in the 2008–09 pre-season friendly against Barnet, earning praise from both manager Gary McAllister [11] and former Leeds player Eddie Gray. [12] He made his first League Cup start in Leeds' 5–2 win away at Chester City in the first round on 13 August 2008.[ citation needed ] Having gained more first-team experience, on 5 September 2008, Delph signed a new four-year contract at Leeds. [13] He celebrated his new contract by scoring his first senior goal the following day as Leeds defeated Crewe Alexandra 5–2. [14] He soon followed it up by scoring twice, both "superb goals" from long range, against Walsall during a 3–0 win. [15]

Delph's form attracted the attention of Premier League managers, with Arsenal's Arsène Wenger reported to be lining up a £6 million bid for the midfielder, [16] and Newcastle United having a bid rejected by Leeds chairman Ken Bates. [17] His performances also prompted Stuart Pearce to give Delph his first call-up to the England under-21 squad in November 2008. [18] He was a late substitute for Craig Gardner as England defeated Czech Republic to win his first under-21 cap on 18 November. [19] During the January 2009 transfer window, Leeds rejected another two bids from Premier League for Delph, with Bates saying: "We explained to both clubs that we don't deal in petty cash." [20] The following day he scored a "goal of genuine quality" against Brighton & Hove Albion by finding the top corner of the goal with a curling shot following a long run. Manager Simon Grayson said: "If he scores goals like that, his value is going to go up. It certainly won't go down." [21] Despite the attention of Premier League managers, Delph remained with Leeds as the January transfer window closed. [22]

By March 2009, his performances during the 2008–09 season earned Delph a nomination for the League One player of the year, which was won by Leicester City's Matty Fryatt, and helped him to win the young player of the year in the end of season Football League Awards. [23] The awards for the 2008–09 season did not end there, with Delph winning young player of the season, goal of the season, for his strike against Brighton and player's player of the season at the club awards. [24] After Leeds lost out in the playoff semi-finals against Millwall, [25] there was much speculation about Delph's future at Leeds, however he did manage to play in Leeds' early pre-season matches, before ultimately Leeds turned down offers from other clubs and Delph completed his move to Aston Villa.[ citation needed ]

Aston Villa

After Leeds failed to gain promotion from League One, several Premier League clubs including Everton, [26] Manchester City, [27] Fulham, Sunderland, [28] Tottenham Hotspur [29] and Aston Villa were linked with Delph. On 3 August 2009, Villa agreed an undisclosed fee with Leeds for the transfer of Delph to Villa Park. [30] The transfer was concluded the following day after Delph completed a medical and agreed personal terms. [31]

Early career

Delph's full Premier League debut came at home against Wigan Athletic on 15 August 2009, the first day of the 2009–10 Premier League season. [32] In a match that Villa lost 2–0, Delph received a yellow card and was replaced in the 61st minute by Steve Sidwell. [33] On 23 January 2010 Delph scored his first goal for Aston Villa in the FA Cup win at home against Brighton & Hove Albion. [34]

On 17 April 2010, Delph had to be carried away from training on a stretcher after picking up a "serious" knee injury. He was immediately taken for tests on the injury. [35] It was later revealed on 19 April 2010 that Delph had suffered a cruciate ligament injury, set to keep him out of action for up to eight months. [36]

Delph returned to action on 26 February 2011, in a Premier League victory over Blackburn Rovers, when he came on as an impromptu left-back after Nathan Baker was injured in the first half.[ citation needed ]

On 3 March 2011, Delph signed a new deal with Aston Villa keeping him at the club until 2015. [37] He scored his second goal for Villa against Tranmere Rovers in the League Cup on 28 August 2012. [38]

On 20 January 2012, Delph re-signed for Leeds United on loan, initially until 25 February 2012. [39] He made his second Leeds United debut against Ipswich Town on 21 January.[ citation needed ] Delph picked up an ankle injury in Leeds' defeat to Coventry City and returned to Aston Villa for treatment on the injury. [40] It was revealed that Delph would miss the end of the season, so his loan at Leeds was not renewed and he returned to his parent club. [41]

During the 2012–13 Premier League season, Delph established himself as a regular in Paul Lambert's team, finishing the season with 24 appearances.[ citation needed ] In the later half of the season, Fabian put in some good performances and began to show a good partnership with Ashley Westwood and Yacouba Sylla in the centre of midfield.[ citation needed ]

2013–14 season

Delph started the 2013–14 season very brightly, and put in some of his best performances in a Villa shirt.[ citation needed ] In the 3–1 away win against Arsenal on the opening day of the season, Delph made a number of successful tackles and dribbles, as well as completing a large number of passes with a high accuracy percentage.[ citation needed ] He saw a long range, low driven shot from his favoured left foot hit the inside of Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny's left post, coming very close to his first Premier League goal.[ citation needed ] His good form continued four days later in a controversial 2–1 loss against Chelsea, and again the following weekend in a 1–0 loss against Liverpool.[ citation needed ] His first goal of the season came in a 3–0 win over Rotherham United in the League Cup third round.[ citation needed ] He played a neat one-two with Benteke, took the first touch to control with his favoured left foot and finished with his right within the box.[ citation needed ] His performances in the opening months of the season earned him the Aston Villa Player of the Month award for August, September and October 2013.[ citation needed ]

Delph scored for the first time in Premier League with "a goal of brutal brilliance" to complete a 3–2 win away at Southampton on 4 December. [42] His performances over the season including stand out performances against Everton, Liverpool and Chelsea, resulted in him being voted Player of the Year by Aston Villa supporters. [43]

2014–15 season

After reports that he could leave the club at the end of the season due to his contract expiring, Delph signed a four-and-a-half-year contract on 25 January 2015, keeping him at Villa until 2019. [44]

On 7 March, Delph scored the first goal as Villa defeated local rivals West Bromwich Albion 2–0 to reach their first FA Cup semi-final since 2010. The victory prompted a pitch invasion by fans, who Delph claimed stole his captain's armband while kissing and biting him. [45] He scored the winning goal in the semi-final on 19 April, as Villa came from behind to defeat Liverpool 2–1 and reach their first FA Cup final since 2000. [46] On 30 May, Delph captained Aston Villa in the 2015 FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, where the team were defeated 4–0 by Arsenal. [47]

On 10 July, Delph was reported to be having a medical ahead of an £8 million transfer to Manchester City. [48] [49] Delph never showed up for his scheduled medical, and subsequently released a statement on the Aston Villa website confirming he would be staying at the club and would not be moving to Manchester City. [50] However, reports a week later emerged that Delph had again changed his mind and was having a medical at Manchester City ahead of a prospective move. [51]

Manchester City

On 17 July 2015, Delph signed a five-year contract with Premier League club Manchester City for a reported fee of £8 million, just six days after saying he would be staying at Aston Villa to captain them into the next season. [50] [52] [53] He made his debut a week later against Real Madrid in the 2015 International Champions Cup at the Melbourne Cricket ground, but was substituted after 18 minutes for Jesús Navas due to injury, and City lost 1–4. [54] Delph scored his first goal for Manchester City on 28 November 2015 against Southampton, the second in an eventual 3–1 win. [55] His third goal for the club came in a 1–0 win over Steaua Bucharest in a Champions League qualifier in August 2016. [56]

After an injury to Benjamin Mendy, Delph established himself as Manchester City's starting left-back in the first half of the team's record breaking start to the 2017–18 season. [57] He started 14 consecutive matches in the Premier League, scoring once against Crystal Palace, as City set a new record of 18 consecutive league wins. [58] He was sent off in the FA Cup defeat to Wigan Athletic in February 2018 and then suffered a muscle problem, not returning to fitness until April. [59]

Everton

Delph signed for Everton on 15 July 2019 on a three-year contract for an initial fee of £8.5 million, rising to £10 million in add-ons. [60] On 10 June 2022, the BBC reported he would leave the club at the end of the month once his contract expired. [61]

On 27 September 2022, Delph announced his retirement from professional football. [62]

[66] On 16 May 2016, Delph was announced to have been selected for the provisional UEFA Euro 2016 England squad. [67] However, on 26 May he was ruled out of the tournament with a groin injury. [68]
