Steven Roy Caulker (born 29 December 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Championship club Queens Park Rangers. He has made one appearance for the England national team.
Caulker is a product of the Tottenham Hotspur Academy and spent a season long loan spell in the 2009–10 season at League One club Yeovil Town. His performances during this loan spell brought him to the attention of the England U19 team and made 11 appearances including reaching the semi-finals of the 2010 Under-19 European Championships. He followed this up with another loan spell at Championship club Bristol City making 30 appearances and winning recognition from the England U21 team before injury cut his season short. A third loan spell followed at newly promoted Premier League club Swansea City. Caulker made 26 appearances and helped the club maintain their Premier League status, and the following summer he represented the Great Britain Olympic football team at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Caulker received his first call up to the England senior team and later in November 2012 made his full England debut against Sweden, scoring a debut goal.
Caulker was born in Feltham in the London Borough of Hounslow. He attended Staines Preparatory School as his primary school and Lampton School as his secondary school, and was borough champion at 400m for four years in a row. As a boy he supported his hometown club Brentford.
