Stephen James Ireland (born 22 August 1986) is an Irish former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Ireland began his career with Cobh Ramblers before joining English club Manchester City in 2001. He made his professional debut in September 2005 and soon established himself as a regular at the City of Manchester Stadium and his performances saw him earn international recognition with Republic of Ireland.

However, he fell out of the first team under Paul Lambert and in September 2013 he joined Stoke City on loan before making the move permanent in January 2014. After being released from Stoke in 2018, he joined Bolton for a brief spell before retiring.
