Brian Stock (born 24 December 1981 in Winchester) is professional footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Doncaster Rovers.

Brian started his career at Bournemouth making his league debut on the 22 January 2000 against Colchester United.

He played 145 league games and scored 16 goals for Bournemouth before signing initially on loan to Preston North End in January 2006. Preston reportedly paid £125,000 for the midfielder.

Lack of first team opportunities however lead to Brian being loaned out to Doncaster Rovers in September 2006.

Brian then signed for Doncaster Rovers on January 3, 2007 for £150,000.

On 17 March 2008 Stock was called up for the Wales team for the friendly match against Luxembourg. He has also represented the Wales Under-21 team.

Stock played a vital role in Doncaster Rovers 2007/8 promotion season with assured performances in midfield. He filled in as captain for Doncaster in the final two months of the season due to a foot injury to usual skipper Adam Lockwood. Stock captained the side in their Play-Off Final victory over Leeds United at Wembley, and scored the first goal from the penalty spot against Southend in the semi-finals of that Play-Off campaign. Stock is known for posessing a deadly long range shot and is also a composed penalty taker.
