Joey Barton Biography

Joey Barton is one of the most popular and richest Soccer Player who was born on September 2, 1982 in Huyton, England, United Kingdom. English midfielder from England who played for Manchester City from 2002 to 2007 before joining Newcastle United and the Queens Park Rangers. The year 2017 was the last time he was given an 18-month ban on playing because of illegally betting on matches.

He made friends and former fighter Ricky Hatton and began training with him too.

Barton pursued his dreams of becoming a professional footballer by joining Everton’s youth system, but played for Liverpool when he was 14. He underwent trials at Nottingham Forest, but was rejected when it was decided he was too small to become a footballer. Barton said his rejection by clubs only made him more determined to succeed as a footballer and prove his detractors wrong. He made his first appearance for Manchester City’s under-17s team in 1999. His first reserve-team appearance came at the end of the 2000–01 season, in his final year as a trainee. Uncertain about Barton’s future prospects, the club planned to release him, but reconsidered and gave him his first professional contract in the close season. Over the next two years, he made the transition from the under-19s to regular reserve football. He was promoted to the first- team squad in the 2002–03 season.

Barton was born and raised in Huyton, Merseyside. He began his football career with Manchester City in 2002 after working his way through their youth system. His appearances in the first team gradually increased over the following five years and he made more than 150 for the club. He earned his only cap for the England national team in February 2007, despite his criticism of some of the team’s players. He then joined Newcastle United for a fee of £5.8 million in July 2007. After four years with the club, he joined Queens Park Rangers in August 2011, from where he was loaned to Marseille in 2012. He returned from his loan spell the following season, and helped QPR to promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs. However, QPR were relegated again, and Barton was released at the end of the season. He signed a one-year deal to play for Burnley in 2015, helping them win promotion to the Premier League, but left to join Rangers in May 2016. He was banned from football after admitting a Football Association charge relating to betting in April 2017, and upon its expiration in June 2018 commenced his managerial career with Fleetwood Town.

He was the eldest out of the four brothers. The youngest brother Michael has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. Barton has one daughter and a son who are with his long-time partner Georgia McNeil.
