Jonathon Patrick Flanagan (born 1 January 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Burnley, on loan from fellow Premier League club Liverpool, and the England national team. He made his debut for Liverpool in a 3–0 win against Manchester City on 11 April 2011 at age 18.
Flanagan was born in Liverpool, Merseyside. He is the nephew of former Blackburn Rovers right-back Bradley Orr.
While still in the U18 team, Flanagan made his reserve debut at Hull City in March 2010. Promoted to the reserve team at the start of the 2010–11 season, he first featured in the Lancashire Senior Cup triumph over Oldham Athletic. He was subsequently picked out as one of the reserve team to watch by The Times sport writer Tony Barrett.
Flanagan made his first team debut when he started the Premier League match against Manchester City at Anfield on 11 April 2011, being handed the number 38 shirt and playing at right back. Liverpool went on to win the game 3–0, with the 18-year-old playing the full 90 minutes.
"The young boy is not bad. For us that is really encouraging as well because it is a reflection of the work that is being done at the academy and if we have a strong academy it can only benefit us for years to come."
Flanagan continued his spell in the first team to cover for the long term injuries of Martin Kelly and Glen Johnson, making his second start the following weekend and playing the full match in a 1–1 draw at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal, a game in which he accidentally knocked out stand-in captain Jamie Carragher through a clash of heads. The incident did not faze the 18-year-old, however, as he gave an assured performance. In the following home match, against Birmingham City, and playing alongside fellow Liverpool Academy graduate Jack Robinson, Flanagan again played the full 90 minutes and helped Liverpool to keep a clean sheet in a 5–0 win. His performance earned him a place in BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks's Premier League team of the week.
