Ivan Toney

Northampton Town

Toney began his career at his hometown club Northampton Town. He made his first-team debut on 13 November 2012, in a 3–3 draw in the FA Cup first round away to Bradford City; he came on at the end of regulation time in place of Lewis Wilson as his team eventually lost 4–2 in a penalty shoot-out. At 16 years old he became the youngest first-team player in the club's history. The following day, he scored four goals in the FA Youth Cup, in a 5–0 win over York City. His only other appearance in a matchday squad that season was on 17 November, remaining unused in a 3–1 League Two win at home to Wycombe Wanderers. Toney made his first start on 28 September 2013 in a goalless home draw against Morecambe, making way for Ben Tozer after 74 minutes. His first professional goals came on 26 April 2014, scoring two in the first half of a 3–0 victory away to Dagenham & Redbridge, the latter a bicycle kick. On 3 May, he scored a header as Northampton defeated Oxford United 3–1 at home to avoid relegation to the Conference Premier on the final day of the season. On 12 August 2014, Toney scored a header in a 3–2 win away to Championship team Wolverhampton Wanderers in the first round of the League Cup. His first goals of the league season arrived on 20 September; on as a substitute for Lawson D'Ath, he scored twice in a home contest against Accrington Stanley but his team nonetheless lost 5–4. A week later, his header was the only goal in victory away to Morecambe.…

In March 2021, it was reported that Toney would be called up to the Jamaican national team, as part of a plan by the Jamaica Football Federation to purposely target a number of English-born players for call ups to increase the nation's chances of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Jamaica Football Federation president Michael Ricketts claimed that Toney was in the process of acquiring a Jamaican passport to play for the nation. Despite this, Toney reportedly rejected Jamaica's call, as he harboured an ambition to represent his country of birth. On 15 September 2022, Toney received his first call up to the England national team for 2022–23 UEFA Nations League fixtures against Italy and Germany, remaining an unused substitute. On 16 March 2023, he was called up to the squad for the first two matches of England's UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. He made his debut on 26 March in a 2–0 victory against Ukraine at Wembley Stadium, coming on as an 81st-minute substitute for Harry Kane. On 26 March 2024, Toney scored his first international goal, on his first international start, scoring a penalty in the 17th minute of a 2–2 draw with Belgium at Wembley in a friendly.
