Louis Carey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Carey (born January 22, 1977 in Bristol) is a central defender currently playing for Bristol City.
He made his City debut in 1995 and was a regular in the first team until he rejected a new contract which allowed Coventry City to sign Louis on a free transfer.
He spent 6 months at Highfield Road under Peter Reid and was in and out of the Coventry first team until then City manager Brian Tinnion signed him back after his contract was cancelled.
He was made Bristol City captain after the imprisonment of Steve Brooker and has held on to the position since.
He is known for his consistent and commanding performances in central defence, but also scored the winning goal against Swansea and twice against Gillingham in 2006.
[edit] Trivia
- Louis was the only Bristol City player to hit the Crossbar during Soccer AM's Crossbar Challenge Feature.
- He grew up in the Bedminster area of South Bristol, but now lives with his family in Flax Bourton.
