The Irish defender driving a stylish pair of wheels on his way out of training.

Born in Killybegs, Donegal, Ireland, he was originally a Gaelic footballer, playing as a back on his local GAA team Na Cealla Beaga. In 2006 he was spotted by League of Ireland Premier Division club Sligo Rovers when he played against them in a friendly for his hometown club St. Catherine's. He made 55 appearances for the Bit o' Reds during his time with them. In January 2009 the Irishman signed for Premier League club Everton for a fee of £60,000. His debut came in a crushing 5-0 defeat to Portuguese giants Benfica in the Europa League; his Premier League debut would come three days later against Tottenham Hotspurs, the defender was named man-of-the-match after coming on as a second half substitute, assisting both of Everton's goals in a 2-2 draw. He spent the rest of the season on loan to EFL Championship club Blackpool, helping them win promotion after beating Cardiff City 3-2 in the playoff final. Upon his return he'd become the first choice right-back for Everton, making 34 Premier League appearances with 4 goals and 3 assists. In the 2013/14 season he made 36 Premier League appearances while registering 6 goals and 2 assists, Everton would finish fifth in the table and the defender would win a host of accolades for his performances including a place in PFA Team of the Year, Everton Player's Player of the Year, and Everton Supporter's Player of the Year. Over the next three seasons he would continue to perform at the highest level for Everton making 104 overall appearances with a total tally of over 20 goals and assists. On March 2017 the defender suffered a horrific injury when he broke his leg playing for Ireland after a dangerous tackle by Welshman Neil Taylor. He underwent surgery on a fractured tibia and fibula of his right leg. The Irish defender would make his Everton return on 31 January 2018 in a 2-1 win over Leicester City.
