Matthew "Matty" Kay (born 12 October 1989 in Blackpool, Lancashire) is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Blackpool.

[edit] Career

Kay made his first appearance for the Seasiders against Scunthorpe United on 13 November 2005, in front of the Sky Sports cameras, setting a new club record as the youngest player, at 16 years 32 days, ever to play for Blackpool in a league match. Trevor Sinclair previously held the Blackpool record for a league match after his debut in 1989, at the age of 16 years 170 days. At the time, Kay was still a pupil at Collegiate High School in Blackpool.[1] Kay signed professional terms with Blackpool in June 2006 after leaving school the previous month. [2] On 7 May 2008 Blackpool activated an option to extend his contract with the club by one year.[3]
