Sean St Ledger-Hall (born 28 December 1984 in Birmingham) is a footballer for Football League Championship Side Preston North End.
St Ledger is a central defender by trade but has played on either flank during his spell with Peterborough United. He joined Stevenage Borough on-loan in January 2004 alongside Richard Scott, but he failed to make an appearance, only making it onto the bench twice.
Impressive Displays linked him with a move to Aston Villa and Birmingham City. However it was Preston that made a firm bid and he joined them on a three year contract for a fee of £225,000 on 7 July 2006.
Steve Staunton learned of his qualification for the Republic of Ireland through his grandmother, who is from Carlow and he was called into the Republic of Ireland squad for the Euro 2008 qualifier against Germany.
St Ledger starred in Sky's Big Ron Manager, a behind the scenes look at Peterborough United's struggle to enter the League 2 play offs at the end of the 2005-06 season. St Ledgers' attitude came in for much criticism by Posh fans and he took some of the blame for their failure to reach the play offs.
But after his move to Preston North End he has sinced fluorished and formed a formiddable partnership with Liam Chilvers. St Ledger is known as being very disciplined. Because of his inspiring displays for Preston he has had many call ups to the Ireland international squad. He is proving to be a growing star at Preston.
