Mini bio
How it started.
Stones grew up playing football around Barnsley and represented Penistone Church before being spotted by Barnsley. He reached his hometown club’s first team at 17, then moved to Everton in 2013, where his calm passing helped him establish himself in the Premier League.
Finding his game.
A 2016 move to Manchester City brought him together with Pep Guardiola. His ability to step from defence into midfield became central to his story, especially during the 2022/23 Treble and the Champions League final against Inter.
The next chapter.
After ten years at City, he joined Inter in July 2026. Alongside his club career, he has represented England at World Cups and European Championships, playing every minute of their EURO 2024 campaign.
