Cyrus Sylvester Frederick Christie (born 30 September 1992) is an English-born Irish professional footballer, who plays for Derby County and the Republic of Ireland national football team as a defender.

Career

Coventry City

Christie made his professional debut against Morecambe on 10 August 2010, in a 2–0 away defeat.[3]

He joined Conference North side Nuneaton Town on loan in January 2011,[4] but was recalled by Coventry after two starts and three substitute appearances.[5] He then went on a 'work experience' loan to another Conference North club Hinckley United, in February 2011,[6] where he made eight league appearances.[7]

After Coventry's first league win of the 2011–12 season, a 2–0 home win against Derby County, Christie made it into the Championship team of the week after putting in a man of the match performance. The following season, he was in the League One side of the week after putting a man of the match performance against Leyton Orient. The following game, in the first round of the FA Cup, he scored his first goal.

Derby County

On 10 July 2014, Christie signed a three-year deal at Derby County. He was out of contract at Coventry, but the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for the player since he came through Coventry's academy and is under 23 years old.[8]

Christie made his debut against Rotherham United on 9 August, where he provided an assist for goalscorer Jeff Hendrick in a 1–0 home victory.[9]

Christie scored his first goal for Derby County in a 1-3 away win over Brentford FC on 20th February 2016.

International career

Born in England, Christie was eligible to represent the Republic of Ireland through his grandmother from Dublin.[10] He is the great great grandson of former Shamrock Rovers player of the 1920s, Patrick Malone. In October 2014, Ireland manager Martin O'Neill reached out to Christie over representing the Republic of Ireland having been impressed with his performances for Derby at the beginning of the 2013–14 season following his move from Coventry.[11] On 10 November, Christie was called into the Ireland squad for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Scotland, and a friendly against the United States.[12]

On 18 November 2014, Christie made his international bow for the Republic against the United States, in a 4–1 win at the Aviva Stadium, with Martin O'Neill praising the performance of Christie on his debut.[13][14] He scored his first goal for the Republic of Ireland against Gibraltar with his second appearance, his first in a competitive game for Ireland in Faro, Portugal against Gibraltar (Gibraltar's home ground for international competition). On October 8th 2015 he was selected to start against Germany in Ireland's pivotal qualifier due to an injury to Séamus Coleman. Christie excelled in Ireland's famous victory against the World Champions. Ireland went on to qualify for UEFA Euro 2016.
