[edit] Career
[edit] England
Foley was trained as a scholar in Hartlepool United's youth academy, the same academy that brought football the likes of Adam Boyd. As a scholar, he represented the first team on several occasions and became Hartlepool's youngest ever player when he came on as a substitute against Port Vale at the age of 16. Foley also played a key role in Hartlepool's Under 19s Dallas Cup winning team in 2004. During his time at the club Foley failed to score a league goal. However, he was more successful in cup competitions, scoring seven goals, most notably against Premier League side Stoke City which earned Hartlepool a famous 2–0 victory in 2009.[1]
When his first team appearances started to become limited Foley joined Conference National side Barrow on a month's loan in August 2009,[2] he played three times but failed to score.
[edit] North America
In February 2010 Foley's Hartlepool contract was cancelled so he could join the Puerto Rico Islanders.[3] After playing for the team throughout the 2010 pre-season, he made his debut for the team on 16 April 2010, in a 2010 CFU Club Championship game against Haitian side Racing des Gonaïves.[4]
