[edit] Playing Career

[edit] Doncaster Rovers

Green started his professional career as a trainee with Doncaster Rovers, making his debut at 19 in a 2-2 draw with Northwich in the Conference in on 19th March 2002. His first career goal came 3 days later in a 5-2 home win against Hayes (who have sinced merged with Yeading). Over the following seasons Green played a key role in several promotions with Doncaster. He first achieved promotion into the Football League following a 3-2 win over Dagenham And Redbridge in the Conference Playoff Final in the 2002/03 season and then won the League Two title the following season. He was again a key player in the side that achieved another playoff promotion, this time from League One into the Championship after a 1-0 win over Leeds United at Wembley in the 2007/08 season. He also won the [Johnstone's Paint Trophy]] whilst with the club in 2006/2007

Green's contract with Doncaster was completed at the end of the 2007/08 season. Despite being offered a new deal[1] Green opted to leave Doncaster and join fellow Championship side Derby County on a free transfer [2], where he has signed a three-year contract. Prior to his departure he is the only remaining player in the squad from the Doncaster Rovers team that won promotion from the Non-league in 2003.

In total he played in 277 games for Doncaster (66 as substitute), netting 33 goals.

Green will be part of the Derby side hoping to return to the Premiership at the first attempt under manager Paul Jewell.
