Carl Ronald Joseph Magnay (born 20 January 1989) is a football defender who plays for Gateshead. Due to having Northern Irish grandparents, English-born Magnay is eligible to represent Northern Ireland. He made his international debut in their U-21 team on Tuesday 11 August 2009, in an away friendly against Portugal's U-21 team.[2]

Career

Born in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, Magnay was the winner of the second series of the Sky One talent search Football Icon. Prior to this Magnay was part of Leeds United's academy.[3][4] On 30 July 2007, ChelseaTV Online conducted an interview with Magnay, where it was revealed he had signed professional forms with the club.

In January 2009 he was loaned to League One team Milton Keynes Dons.[5] He made his debut for the Dons on 31 January against Cheltenham Town. He made only one other appearance and in total played 7 minutes for MK.[6] On 9 March 2009 Magnay was signed by Northampton Town on a one month loan deal.[7] He made his debut in the 1–0 defeat at Millwall.[8]

In pre-season ahead of the 2009-10 Premier League campaign, Magnay was a part of the Chelsea Reserves team that took part in a training ground brawl with United Arab Emirates side Al-Ahli.[9]

In March 2010 Magnay suffered a serious injury in a reserve team game against Charlton Athletic, damaging his anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and cracking his kneecap.[10]

On 16 June 2011, it was announced that Magnay had been released by Chelsea having made no senior appearances in a spell plagued by injury.[11] Also, Chelsea reserve team coach Steve Holland made this comment in an article which confirmed the departure of two other players: 'Carl Magnay will remain at Chelsea for the rest of this year and he is well informed of how the club see him. He is another who had an awful run of injuries and we try to look after our players. Hopefully over the next six months we can help place him at a good level of football.'[12]

In January 2012, Magnay appeared on trial at Gateshead, playing for Gateshead's reserve side in a Durham Challenge Cup match against Norton & Stockton Ancients on 11 January[13] and a Central League game against Hartlepool United Reserves on 25 January.[14] On 27 January 2012, he signed for Gateshead on a contract until the end of the season.[15] He made his debut on 6 March, as an 86th minute substitute in a 2–0 win over Hayes & Yeading United.[16] He agreed a new one-year contract with the club in May 2012 to cover the 2012–13 season.[17] Magnay scored his first career goal on 29 January 2013 against Barrow in the FA Trophy.[18] He scored his first league goal on 13 April 2013 against Hereford United.
