Kieran Trippier – Skills and Goals – Highlights

Kieran John Trippier (/ˈtrɪpjər/; born 19 September 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Premier League club Newcastle United and the England national team.

Trippier started his career in the youth system at Manchester City but failed to make the breakthrough to the first team, having two loans at Championship club Barnsley. In 2011, he signed for Championship club Burnley on a season-long loan which was made permanent in January 2012 for an undisclosed fee. He was named in the Championship PFA Team of the Year for two consecutive seasons in 2012–13 and 2013–14. In 2014, he secured promotion with Burnley to the Premier League as the team finished runners-up in the Championship. A year later, he signed for Tottenham Hotspur for a £3.5 million fee. After four years in North London, during which he became part of the squad that finished as runners-up in the 2019 Champions League final, Trippier joined Spanish side Atlético Madrid, where he helped the team win the 2020–21 La Liga title.

Trippier also represented England at all levels from under-18 to under-21, featuring in the 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Championship and 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He made his senior international debut in June 2017 and was part of the team that reached the semi-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Newcastle United
Trippier signed for Premier League club Newcastle United on 7 January 2022 on a two-and-a-half-year contract for a fee of £12 million plus add-ons. He made his debut on 8 January, in the 1–0 defeat to Cambridge United in the FA Cup. On 8 February, Trippier scored his first goal for Newcastle United, a free kick in a 3–1 win at home to Everton.

On 13 February 2022, after scoring a second goal for the club, also a free kick, in a 1–0 home win against Aston Villa, Tripper broke his foot. The news was described as “disastrous” for the club by pundit and former player Jermaine Jenas, and the club said they were unsure if Tripper would feature again that season.
