Tyrone Deon Mings (born 13 March 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays for Bournemouth as a left back or a centre-back. He made his debut, playing for Ipswich Town, on 4 May 2013.[3]

Club career

Early career

Born in Bath, Somerset, to former non-league striker Adie Mings, Mings joined Southampton in 2001 as an eight-year-old, but was released in 2009 when the youth budget was axed.[4] After leaving Southampton, he attended Millfield school for two years on a football scholarship. After leaving school, Mings signed for non league side Yate Town. In the summer of 2012, he considered quitting football before eventually signing for his home town team Chippenham Town.[5]

Ipswich Town

Mings signed for Ipswich Town in 2013 after a short trial for a fee of £10,000 and an agreement for Ipswich to play a preseason game against Chippenham.[5] Mings made his debut for Ipswich on the last day of the 2012–13 season against Burnley. He went on into the 2013–14 season starting two more games due to the suspension of Aaron Cresswell. On 4 January 2014, Mings started an FA Cup tie against Preston North End at right back instead of his usual left back role.

Following Aaron Cresswell's transfer to West Ham United, Mings was handed the number 3 shirt. Because of this, Mings offered to purchase new shirts for two fans who had bought shirts with his old number 15 printed on the back.[6]

On transfer deadline day summer 2014, Mings was subject to a £3 million pound bid from Crystal Palace which was rejected by Ipswich. On 20 September 2014, Mings signed a new three-year contract with Ipswich.[7] On 10 October 2014, Mings won the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month Award for September.[8]

Bournemouth

On 26 June 2015, Mings signed for newly promoted Premier League club AFC Bournemouth on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £8 million.[9]

Mings made his Premier League debut for Bournemouth on 29 August 2015 in a 1–1 draw with Leicester City. However, he suffered a knee injury six minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute.[10] On 3 September 2015, it was confirmed that Mings' injury would mean that he would be sidelined for between 9 and 12 months.[11] He made his comeback in a 3–0 defeat to Millwall in the third round of the FA Cup on 7 January 2017.[12]

On 8 March 2017, Mings was banned by the FA for five matches following an alleged stamp on Zlatan Ibrahimović in a match against Manchester United on the previous weekend.[13][14][15]

Personal life

Mings is the son of Adie Mings, a former striker with non-league Bath City and Gloucester City who currently works as a scout for Chelsea.[16] His father was assistant manager then manager at Chippenham Town, but became director of football shortly before Tyrone joined the club.

Off the field, Mings has gained a reputation for charitable and generous acts.[17] He spent Christmas Day 2013 feeding homeless people[18] and when he was given the number 3 shirt by Ipswich at the beginning of the 2014–15 season, he replaced the shirts of fans who had already bought ones with his old number on the back.[6]

Outside of football, Mings has a business interest in an interior design company[19] in Bournemouth,[20] where he serves as a director and investor.

International career

As well as being eligible for England, Mings could also declare for Barbados through his paternal grandparents;[21] his father received a call-up from Barbados, but declined.[citation needed]
