Wayne Quinn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wayne Quinn (born 19 November 1976 in Truro) is an English ex-professional football player. He plays as a defender.

He started his career at Sheffield United, breaking into their first team in 1997. In 2001 he was loaned to Newcastle United, who later purchased him for £800,000. After a difficult time at the club, he was loaned back out to Sheffield United, and then West Ham before being released on a free transfer in 2004.

Quinn played for England's Under 21 team, and also played for England's 'B' side. He usually played at left full-back but could play as a left-sided midfielder.

Since he left West Ham United three years ago (at the age of 28), he hasn't been able to find another pro club.

He now owns a caravan site in Wales and plays for Penzance F.C. in Cornwall.

Along with his father, Colin, he has recently been announced as part of the managerial set up at Hayle FC's SWPL team for next season[1].
