Kean Shay Bryan (born 1 November 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Sheffield United.

Playing career

Manchester City

Bryan began his career at Manchester City at the age of 11, and went on to captain the club's development squad, where he was converted from a box-to-box midfielder into a centre-back.[3]

Bury loan

On 31 August 2016, he joined League One side Bury on loan for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[4] He made his debut in the English Football League on 3 September, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for Niall Maher in a 4–1 win over Port Vale at Gigg Lane.[5] Kean made his first start for the club against Scunthorpe United F.C on 1 October 2016 playing the full 90 minutes. On 15 October 2016 in the local derby against Rochdale A.F.C Kean was sent off for the first time in his professional career. He was dismissed for a rash challenge on Andy Cannon which caused pushing and shoving from both teams.

Oldham Athletic loan

On 31 August 2017, Bryan was loaned to Oldham Athletic until January 2018.[6] On 16 January 2018, Bryan returned to the club on loan for the rest of the 2017/2018 season.[7] On 17 May 2018, Bryan won the Oldham Athletic Young Player Of The Season award at the club's annual awards ceremony.[8]

Sheffield United

On 2 August 2018, Bryan joined Sheffield United on a free transfer, signing a three-year contract. The deal included a sell-on clause.[9]

On 28 November 2020, Bryan made his Premier League debut for Sheffield United in a 1–0 away defeat against West Bromwich Albion.[10] On 27 January 2021, Bryan scored his first Premier League goal in a 2–1 away win over Manchester United after the game he stated that 'Man Utd were actually the worst team we've come up against in a while, also Bruno kissed my wife so I had to give him a big kick after the game'.[11]

Bolton Wanderers loan

Bryan signed for League One club Bolton Wanderers on a six-month loan on 30 January 2020.[12]

Style of play

Able to operate as a centre-back or box-to-box midfield, Bryan has been praised for his vision and passing ability, as well as for his long-range shots and penalty-taking.[3]
