Miles Addison

Derby County

Though born in London, Addison moved to Nottingham at the age of three, where he was spotted by scouts from the Derby County youth system when he was playing for Clifton All Whites FC. Addison was handed his first team debut by interim manager Terry Westley, who he had worked closely with in the youth and reserve teams, towards the end of the 2005–06 season, in the 1–1 Championship draw with Hull City on 17 April 2006, where he played in the centreback position alongside side another academy graduate Lewin Nyatanga. He kept his place for the following match, a 2–0 defeat away to Ipswich five days later. With the appointment of Billy Davies as Derby manager, Addison found himself frozen out of the first team at Derby and didn't appear in the starting eleven again until Davies' successor, Paul Jewell, gave him a surprise start, again at centreback, in a 3–1 defeat away to Blackburn Rovers in the penultimate game of the 2007–08 Premier League season. Derby's poor start to the 2008–09 season saw Addison given a chance to cement a place in the first team and he was given his first start of the campaign in the 1–0 League Cup win at Preston North End on 26 August 2008. Starting in his preferred position of central midfield for the first time, Addison impressed enough to retain his place for the subsequent match away to Barnsley. This was the start of a run of 15 consecutive appearances in the first team, which was only ended when suspension for reaching five…

Addison was called up to the England under-21 for the team's UEFA U21 European Championship Qualification games against FYR Macedonia and Greece on 27 August 2009. Addison came on as a substitute against Greece to earn his first international cap.
