John Egan (born 20 October 1992) is a Cork born Irish footballer who plays for Brentford as a defender. He has had loan spells with Crystal Palace, Sheffield United, Bradford City and Southend United, and has represented Ireland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. He was released by Sunderland at the end of the 2013–14 season, and signed a 2-year deal with Gillingham in July 2014.
Born in Cork, Egan started his career with Greenwood FC in Togher and is the son of former Kerry Gaelic footballer, John Egan. His mother, Mary Egan, was a soccer player and has a League of Ireland medal under her belt.
Egan was loaned by Sunderland to Crystal Palace in January 2012. Egan made his Professional debut for Palace in the F.A. Cup 3rd round playing the full 90 minutes in their 1-0 loss to Derby County. In March 2012, Egan joined Football League One side Sheffield United on a month's loan to ease a defensive crisis, making his début for the Blades that evening in a defeat at Walsall.
In July 2012 Egan was called up by Martin O'Neill for Sunderland's pre season tour to South Korea to take part in the Peace Cup. He came on as a substitute for the injured Wes Brown in the 3rd place play off against F.C. Groningen of Holland playing 50 minutes of the 3-2 victory. After a solid pre season he was praised by Martin O'Neill and handed the number forty-two jersey for the season. At the start of November 2012 after being around the first team Egan signed a three-month loan deal with Bradford City to get games under his belt. He made his début for Bradford on 6 November in a 0–0 draw at home to Chesterfield. His loan was cut short two weeks later after suffering a broken leg, returning having played four games for the Bantams. This injury ruled him out for a year but during his rehab Egan agreed a one-year contract extension with Sunderland in March 2013.
