John Stones (born 28 May 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays for Everton and the England national football team. Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a right back.

Club career

Barnsley

Born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire,[2] Stones came through the Barnsley youth academy to sign professional forms in December 2011. He made his Championship debut on 17 March 2012, in a 4–0 defeat to Reading at Oakwell, replacing Scott Wiseman after 52 minutes.[3] He scored his only goal for Barnsley in a League Cup first round match away to Rochdale on 11 August 2012, a 4–3 victory after extra time.[4]

Everton

Stones signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Everton on 31 January 2013,[5] for a transfer fee reported to be in the region of £3 million.[6] He made his debut for Everton against Stevenage in the League Cup on 28 August 2013.[7] He made his league debut as a late substitute for Steven Naismith in a 1–0 home win over Chelsea on 14 September 2013.[8] He started his first Premier League game for Everton in a 1–1 draw against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on 1 January 2014.[9]

On 7 August 2014, Stones signed a new 5-year contract that will keep him with Everton until 2019. The deal is believed to be worth around £30,000 a week.[10]

He suffered an ankle injury against Manchester United on 5 October, ruling him out for between 10 and 14 weeks.[11]

Despite his injury woes, Stones was listed among the nominees for the Golden Boy 2014 Award alongside former Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu and fellow England internationals Calum Chambers, Raheem Sterling and Luke Shaw.

Stones was sent off in Everton's 4–1 away win at Young Boys in the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League, for conceding a penalty with a foul on Guillaume Hoarau who went on to miss the spot-kick.[12] Stones scored his first goal for Everton against Man Utd on 26 April 2015.

International career

On 28 May 2013, he was named in manager Peter Taylor's 21-man squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[13] He made his England U20 debut on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay.[14]

He made his under-21s debut against Scotland's U21s. He played the entire 90 minutes, resulting in a 6–0 win for England.

On 12 May 2014, he was named as a standby player for England's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad. During his press conference, Roy Hodgson confirmed that Stones would join the squad at their pre-tournament training camp in Portugal and that should Phil Jones not be able to shake off a shoulder injury, Stones would take his place. Stones made his England debut on 30 May in a 3–0 win over Peru at Wembley, replacing Everton teammate Leighton Baines for the final 15 minutes,[15] also playing the next match, a 2-2 draw with Ecuador. Jones eventually recovered and retained his tournament berth.

On 3 September 2014, Stones made his first England start in a friendly against Norway at Wembley Stadium.[16] Five days later, in England's first match of UEFA Euro 2016 qualification, Stones made his competitive debut in a 2–0 victory away to Switzerland at St. Jakob-Park, Basel.[17]
