Joleon Lescott

Joleon Lescott is an English professional footballer currently playing for Manchester City. The centre-back began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, making his debut in 2000 and was named the fans’ Young Player of the Year two years running. By 2002 he had cemented a key role in the side and had helped the team gain promotion to the Premier League in 2003. However, he was then injured and ruled out for the season in the top flight and Wolves were relegated that year. He moved to Everton in August 2006 and was named Players’ Player of the Season in his first two seasons there. In 2009, after protracted negotiations he moved to Manchester City for approximately £23 million. He made his international debut in 2007 against Estonia and made his first start in a Euro 2008 qualifier against Russia which England lost 2-1.
