A Barnsley native, John Stones broke through at his hometown club before Everton signed him as one of England's most promising ball-playing defenders. A 2016 move to Manchester City turned him into a serial trophy winner, claiming multiple Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League, where Pep Guardiola often deployed him as an inverted full-back. A composed, technically gifted centre-back with over 80 caps, Stones is a defensive leader for England despite recurring fitness concerns.
- Won the treble with Manchester City in 2023, including the Champions League
- Pioneered the inverted-full-back role under Pep Guardiola
- Started his career at hometown club Barnsley
