Neal Eardley Biography

Neal Eardley is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on November 6, 1988 in Wales, United Kingdom. Neal James Eardley, born 6 November 1988 in Wales, is an international footballer who plays right back for League One club Lincoln City. Before winning his first of 16 senior caps in August 2007, he represented Wales at the under-17, under-19, and under-21 levels.

Eardley was a substitute in the 46th minutes and earned his first senior cap for Wales in a 1-0 victory over Bulgaria on 22 Aug 2007. Eardley also participated in Wales’ failed Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. He was a substitute in the 46th minute and won a 2-1 victory over San Marino on 17 Oct 2007 as well as a draw with Republic of Ireland (17 November). Eardley was the first player to make a World Cup appearance, when he defeated Azerbaijan by 1-0 at the Tofik Bakhramov stadium in Baku. After Chris Coleman was appointed manager in January 2012, Eardley failed to win a cap. He had been called up in 2013 by Coleman but was forced out because of the first of many injuries that afflicted his time at Birmingham.

Eardley earned praise from manager Joe Royle in April 2009, but despite missing matches through international call-ups was named in the League One Team of the Year for his performances across his 34 league appearances during the 2008–09 campaign, alongside teammate Chris Taylor. However Royle left the club and his successor, Dave Penney, signed cover at right-back in apparent anticipation at losing Eardley during the transfer window.

Eardley scored his first goal for the Tangerines with a free kick in a 2–2 draw with Everton in the Premier League at Bloomfield Road on 6 November 2010 – the day of his 21st birthday. He was subsequently named in the Premier League Team of the Week, alongside teammate and fellow goalscorer David Vaughan. He played 33 games across the 2010–11 campaign, but could not prevent Blackpool from being relegated with a 4–2 defeat to champions Manchester United at Old Trafford on 22 May.

Eardley spoke out to FourFourTwo in December 2007 and stated that his strength was his attack ability. However, he wanted to improve his heading skills.

Eardley was born in Llandudno and made his debut in the Oldham Athletic youth system to make his team debut under Ronnie Moore. He played in a 1-1 draw against Scunthorpe United at Boundary Park in May 2006. Eardley was a regular starter in the 2006-07 season under John Sheridan. He started as an attacking player and then moved to defense. His season began with a rocky start. He was sent off in the first game of Oldham’s 2006-07 season, on 5 August, shortly after Chris Taylor was also dismissed. Oldham lost 1-0 against Tranmere Rovers. He was awarded his first professional contract in September, which was to last until June 2009. In a 2-1 defeat at Chesterfield, Eardley scored his first goal on December 9th with a free kick. Eardley was a regular starter for 41 games. He scored twice and the “Latics”, who qualified for League One play- offs were defeated by Blackpool in the semi-final stage.

He started his career at Oldham Athletic and made his debut on the Oldham Athletic team in May 2006. Four months later, he became a professional and was quickly a regular first-team player. He was also named the 2008-09 League One PFA Player of the Year. Blackpool signed him in August 2009 for a reported sum of PS350,000. Blackpool were promoted from the Championship in 2010 via play- offs. He played 31 Premier League matches during their 2010-11 relegation campaign. He spent two more seasons at Blackpool before moving on to Birmingham City in August 2013. He suffered from injuries during his three- year stint at Birmingham. He played just 21 matches and was loaned to Leyton Orient in January 2015. In September 2016, he signed a short-term contract with Hibernian in Scotland. He then returned to England to play in Northampton Town’s January 2017 match. In August 2017, he signed a contract for Lincoln City.

Blackpool manager, Ian Holloway signed Eardley on 7 August 2009 for an undisclosed fee – reported to be about £350,000; Eardley signed a two-year contract, with an option for a further 12 months. On 18 August, Eardley made his debut for the “Seasiders” in a 0–0 draw with Derby County at Bloomfield Road. He and teammate Charlie Adam were named in the Championship Team of the Week following their performance in the 3–2 home victory over Watford on 23 January 2010. However he was disciplined by Holloway the following month, along with Barry Bannan and Ishmel Demontagnac, when they were seen out at a nightclub in Blackpool following a home defeat to Leicester City, even though Eardley had a knee problem and was due to undergo treatment the next day. Holloway explained: “I’m disappointed – we’ll have a party once we’ve got 52 points”. All three were dropped from the squad for the next game, away to Sheffield Wednesday. The 2009–10 season ended on a high note though as Blackpool far exceeded their 52 points target to instead qualify for the play- offs with 70 points; they went on to beat Cardiff City 3–2 in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium, though Eardley was not in the matchday squad.

He started the first seven games of the 2013–14 season, and was described as “fast emerging as a key player in Birmingham City’s new-look system” playing at wing-back under manager Lee Clark. Half an hour into the match against Ipswich Town on 31 August he suffered a knee injury, later diagnosed as a ruptured medial ligament and a partial tear to the anterior cruciate ligament, which kept him out of action for the rest of the season. He returned to the starting eleven for the defeat at Middlesbrough on the opening day of the 2014–15 season, but was unable to establish himself in the first team, and was not used in the Championship again following his red card during a 1–0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers on 21 October.
