'''Phillip Anthony Bardsley''' (born 28 June 1985) is a former professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Full back (association football)|full back]]. He also played international football for the [[Scotland national football team|Scotland national team]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/201311-phil-bardsley-called-into-scotland-squad-for-euro-2012-games/ |title=Phil Bardsley called into Scotland squad for Euro 2012 games |access-date=17 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309115042/http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/201311-phil-bardsley-called-into-scotland-squad-for-euro-2012-games/ |archive-date=9 March 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Bardsley began his career with [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] where he made 18 appearances in five seasons at the club. During that time, he was loaned to several clubs, including [[Royal Antwerp F.C.|Royal Antwerp]], [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]], [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]], [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] and [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]].

He joined [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] in January 2008 for an initial fee of £850,000. Bardsley established himself as a regular at the [[Stadium of Light]] under [[Steve Bruce]] and [[Martin O'Neill]] and he won the player of the year award in [[2010–11 Sunderland A.F.C. season|2010–11]]. He lost his place in the team in [[2012–13 Sunderland A.F.C. season|2012–13]] after a falling-out with manager [[Paolo Di Canio]], before returning to the first team under [[Gus Poyet]]. Under Poyet, Bardsley helped Sunderland to avoid relegation in [[2013–14 Sunderland A.F.C. season|2013–14]] and reach the [[2014 Football League Cup final]], in which they lost 3–1 to [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]].

After his Sunderland contract expired in June 2014, Bardsley joined [[Stoke City F.C.|Stoke City]] on a free transfer. He spent three seasons with the club before joining [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] in July 2017. Bardsley ended his career at [[Stockport County F.C.|Stockport County]].

Prior to his departure for Sunderland, he was the only current player who progressed through all the levels of the academy, starting out at the club at the age of 8.<ref name="Sport Vibe"/>

==Club career==

===Manchester United===
After coming through the club's youth system, Bardsley was a regular in Manchester United's under-17 team from the 2000–01 season, before progressing to the under-19s from the 2002–03 season. He continued in the under-19s in [[2003–04 Manchester United F.C. season|2003–04]], but appeared more frequently in the reserves before making his first-team debut in a 2–0 defeat to [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]] on 3 December 2003 in the fourth round of the [[2003–04 Football League Cup|League Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Baggies bounce Man Utd out|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/league_cup/3246994.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=11 March 2015|date=3 December 2003}}</ref> He made a second appearance for the first team in the 3–0 [[FA Cup]] fourth round win over [[Northampton Town F.C.|Northampton Town]] on 25 January 2004, before going on a four-month loan to Manchester United's Belgian feeder club, [[Royal Antwerp F.C.|Royal Antwerp]], on 30 January.<ref>{{cite web|title=Northampton 0–3 Man Utd|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/3403761.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=11 March 2015|date=25 January 2004}}</ref> He made six appearances for Royal Antwerp, including a 4–0 defeat to [[Club Brugge K.V.|Club Brugge]] on 8 February 2004, in which he was sent off for two bookable offences.<ref>{{cite web |title=Club Brugge K.V. 4–0 R.

After returning to Manchester United at the end of 2003–04, Bardsley made three appearances on the club's [[2004–05 Manchester United F.C. season|2004–05]] pre-season tour of the United States, playing against [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]], [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] and [[A.C. Milan|Milan]]. He made another promising start to the [[2005–06 Manchester United F.C. season|2005–06]] season, and an injury to [[Gary Neville]] gave him plenty of opportunities to play between August and November 2005. He was regularly named as a substitute for much of the rest of the season, before going on loan to [[Football League Championship|Championship]] club [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] on 16 March 2006. He played six matches and scored an own goal in the first minute of a 1–1 draw at home to [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Burnley 1–1 Southampton|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_1/4842462.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=11 March 2015|date=28 March 2006}}</ref>

====Loan to Rangers====
Bardsley again made a significant contribution to Manchester United's pre-season programme in [[2006–07 Manchester United F.C. season|2006–07]], but on 16 August, he was sent out on loan again, this time to [[Scottish Premier League]] club [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Rangers sign up Bardsley on loan |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/4799891.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=16 August 2006 |access-date=14 April 2012 }}</ref> On 9 September 2006, he scored his only goal for Rangers against [[Falkirk F.C.|Falkirk]] with a terrific long-range free kick.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_prem/5325254.stm |title=Rangers 4–0 Falkirk |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 September 2006 |access-date=24 October 2009 }}</ref> He was sent off against [[Hibernian F.C.|Hibernian]],<ref>{{cite news |title=Hibernians 2–1 Rangers |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_prem/5345670.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=17 September 2006 |access-date=14 April 2012 }}</ref> and therefore missed the [[Old Firm]] match against [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]]. On 17 October, it was reported that Bardsley was involved in a training ground disagreement with manager [[Paul Le Guen]] and his future at Rangers appeared to be in doubt.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bardsley axed after boss bust-up |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/6061000.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=17 October 2006 }}</ref> Indeed, Bardsley never played for Rangers again and returned to Manchester United in December.<ref>{{cite news |title=Old Trafford duo make Ibrox exit |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/6216885.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=29 December 2006 }}</ref>

====Loan to Aston Villa====
On 8 January 2007, Bardsley joined [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] on loan until the end of the season and played his first [[Premier League]] match against [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] on 20 January.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tactical Formation |work=Football-Lineups.com |url=http://www.football-lineups.com/wiki/_match3473.php |access-date=3 February 2007 }}</ref> It was announced on 1 May that Bardsley would be returning to Manchester United when his loan deal with Villa ran out as manager [[Martin O'Neill]] did not want to make the move permanent.<ref>{{cite news |title=Phil's United Return |url=http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/HeadlinesDetail/0,,10265~1019107,00.html |publisher=Aston Villa F.C. |date=1 May 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006014134/http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/HeadlinesDetail/0,,10265~1019107,00.html |archive-date=6 October 2007}}</ref>

====Loan to Sheffield United====
After playing what would turn out to be his last match for the Manchester United first team against [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] in the League Cup on 26 September 2007, it was confirmed on 15 October Bardsley would join [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]] on loan until January 2008.<ref>{{cite news |title=Man Utd's Bardsley in Blades loan |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_utd/7044929.stm |publisher=BBC Sport (British Broadcasting Corporation) |date=15 October 2007 |access-date=24 May 2014 }}</ref> He made his full debut for the Blades a few days later in a 1–1 draw with [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]] at Bramall Lane.

Bardsley kept his place under new manager [[Steve Bruce]] for the first half of the [[2009–10 Sunderland A.F.C. season|2009–10 season]] until loan signing [[Alan Hutton]] took his place in February 2010.
