Kian Breckin (born 10 December 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays for Wycombe Wanderers on loan from Manchester City.[1]
Early and personal life[edit]
Breckin joined the Manchester City Academy in 2015, when he was eleven years-old. He attended St Alban's Primary School in Wickersley prior to his family moving from Rotherham in Yorkshire to Sale, Greater Manchester in order for him to be closer to the Manchester City training centre. His mother, Leanne, is a former international gymnast. His father is the former professional footballer Ian Breckin, his uncle is the former Rotherham United player and manager John Breckin. He has a sister called Ava.[2][3][4]
Career[edit]
Breckin played a key role in two U18 Premier League title wins, in 2021 and 2022.[5] progressed to Manchester City's Elite Development Squad in 2022. During the following season, he played in 24 league games, as his team won the Premier League 2 title in 2023. Breckin has also played in two UEFA Youth League matches with Manchester City.[6] Breckin played every minute for Manchester City that season in the EFL Trophy.[7]
Breckin joined Wycombe Wanderers on a season-long loan in July 2023.[8] On 5 August 2023, Breckin made his first senior appearance, starting for Wycombe in their 3–0 defeat to Exeter City at Adams Park.[9] After making two league appearances, and nine appearances in total, he was recalled by Manchester City in January 2024. Wycombe manager Matt Bloomfield praised Breckin for his attitude at the club despite not playing as regularly as he would have wished.[10][11] In January 2024, it was reported that Breckin began to train with Stockport County ahead of a possible loan move.[12]
Style of play[edit]
Breckin has been compared with Belgian footballer Kevin De Bruyne for the way he "uses half space and activates the space behind the opposition fullbacks".[13]
