Kyle Naughton (born 11 November 1988 in Sheffield, England) is an English footballer, who plays for Sheffield United.

[edit] Career

Naughton is a product of Sheffield United's centre of excellence and academy, having been there since the age of eight and captained the academy side to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup in the 2006–07 season.

He was signed by Gretna on loan in January 2008,[1] and made his league debut for Gretna against Rangers on 16 January 2008.[2] He played regularly for the rest of the season at the troubled Scottish club who were placed into administration during his tenure there. Despite this Naughton continued for Gretna as the Blades agreed to cover insurance payments needed to allow him to play.[3]. Naughton played eighteen times for the club but was unable to help them avoid relegation.
