Fabian Delph (born 21 November 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Manchester City and the England national team.
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. In July 2015, Delph joined Manchester City for £8 million.
Delph represented England at under-19 and under-21 level and made his senior debut in a friendly against Norway on 3 September 2014.
Born in Bradford, West Yorkshire on 21 November 1989, Delph started his career in football as a youngster at Bradford City. 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. 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 years. He completed his studies at the partner school to Leeds, Boston Spa School.
