Antony Roland Kay (born 21 October 1982) is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Football League One side Bury. Kay primarily plays as a defender, but has also played in a midfield role at previous clubs.
Born in Barnsley, Kay began his career at Barnsley; from his school years, he rose through the ranks to make his first team debut for the club on 12 August 2000 at Oakwell against Norwich City.
In the 2005–06 season he scored the fourth and final Barnsley penalty in the play-off final penalty shootout against Swansea City, in which Barnsley gained promotion to the Championship. At the time of his departure, he was vice-captain of the side, and was the club's longest serving player.
He was released at the end of the 2006–07 season, and subsequently signed a two-year deal with League One side Tranmere Rovers. He scored 7 goals in his first season at the club, including the fans goal of the season on Boxing Day against Carlisle United. He made 30 league appearances in his first season at Prenton Park, playing mainly in his natural position of centre back.
He opened his account for the 2008–09 season with a spectacular volley from outside the box in the 4–1 win over Northampton Town. He became a lethal midfielder during that season, which saw Tranmere miss out on the play-offs on the final day of the season.
