David Lee Fox (born 13 December 1983) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Plymouth Argyle.
Born in Leek, Staffordshire, Fox began his career with Exeter City, where his father Peter was player-manager, before joining Manchester United in July 2000. However, he was unable to break into the first-team and spent time on loan with Belgian club Royal Antwerp and Shrewsbury Town before making a permanent transfer to Blackpool in 2006. After three years with Blackpool, he joined Colchester United in 2009, before moving to Norwich City a year later. In 2013, he went on a three-month loan to Barnsley, before he rejoined Colchester in late 2014. He has also played for the England Under-20s.
Born in Leek, Staffordshire, Fox is the son of former footballer Peter Fox, who was playing as a goalkeeper for Stoke City at the time of David's birth. After Peter signed for Exeter City in 1993, the family moved to Devon and David joined the club's youth system. In April 2000, Fox was invited to play for Manchester United's under-17s side at the Nivea Junior Football Tournament in Bludenz, Austria, where he played in four of the five matches. In July 2000, shortly after his father's departure from Exeter, Fox signed a trainee contract with Manchester United, before signing his first professional contract on 13 December 2000, his 17th birthday.
