Aiden Mcgeady
Aiden John McGeady (born 4 April 1986) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Championship club Charlton Athletic, on loan from Sunderland, and the Republic of Ireland national team.

In Russia, McGeady was a runner-up in the Russian Premier League. He moved to English football with Everton in January 2014, being loaned to Sheffield Wednesday and Preston North End before joining Sunderland in summer 2017. McGeady was born and brought up in Scotland but chose to play for Ireland, qualifying through his Irish grandparents. He was included in the Irish squads at UEFA Euro 2012 and UEFA Euro 2016.

Aiden McGeady reveals why he decided to leave Celtic

Aiden McGeady departed Celtic in 2010 to join Spartak Moscow. The move involved a transfer fee around £9.5 million, which made him the most expensive export from Scottish football at that point of time. Since then, he has had a decent but not spectacular time, but never quite reached the expectations that surrounded him. He currently plays for Sunderland in English League One and even at the age of 35, is a key player for them.
