Career & Clubs

Playing career

England

Foley was born in Cork. In 1995, at the age of 19, he was signed by English First Division club Wolverhampton Wanderers from St. James's Gate. He made his debut on 18 November as a substitute in a 3–1 home loss against Oldham Athletic, but never managed to earn a regular place, and appeared in just 29 competitive matches in four seasons combined at Molineux Stadium. To gain playing time, Foley was loaned several times in the following years, to Watford, Notts County and Greek club Ethnikos Piraeus. He eventually moved to Watford, signed by Graham Taylor – who had originally brought him to Wolverhampton – on a free transfer. Foley played 12 times in his first year with the Hornets (one goal), also making his Premier League debut. Even though the campaign ended in relegation, he received his first call-up to the Republic of Ireland national team; his debut came on 30 May 2000 in a 2-1 friendly defeat to Scotland; five days later, his second cap, against Mexico, saw him score the first of his two international goals, with all six appearances coming during the year. Early into 2000–01, Foley netted a last-minute winner against Barnsley, but overall found playing opportunities scarce, being successively loaned by the Vicarage Road side to Queens Park Rangers (two spells), Swindon Town, Southend United and Oxford United.

Managerial career

Treaty United W.F.C.

On 30 November 2023, Foley was appointed as Manager of League of Ireland Women's Premier Division side Treaty United, his first role in management. Foley's first game as manager in March 2024 saw his Treaty United side pick up a 2–0 win over DLR Waves, the club's first home win in almost three years. Foley's side started the season with a five-game unbeaten streak before succumbing to defeat for the first time that season away to Bohemian F.C. Women in April. He left his role at the end of the season having led Treaty United to their best ever finish in the Women's Premier Division.
