Troy Deeney

Troy Matthew Deeney (born 29 June 1988) is an English professional football pundit, manager, and former player who played as a striker. Deeney started his professional career with Chelmsley Town in 2004. Two seasons later, he joined fellow club Walsall. He spent a brief spell on loan with Southern League Premier Division club Halesowen Town during the 2006–07 season. He transferred to Championship club Watford in 2010 and captained the team to promotion to the Premier League in the 2014–15 season. After 11 years and more than 400 matches with Watford, he left the club as a free agent in August 2021 and spent two years with Birmingham City. He joined Forest Green Rovers in August 2023 in a player-coach role and became permanent manager later that year, but was sacked in January 2024. He is currently a pundit for CBS Sports and appears on the Morning Footy show.
