Sean Martin Long (born 2 May 1995) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Championship club Reading.

Club career

Long joined Reading from Irish side Cherry Orchard in 2012.[3] He made his professional debut on 26 August 2014 as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 League Cup win over Scunthorpe United.[4]

On 16 October 2015, Long signed for League Two club Luton Town on an initial one-month loan.[5] He made his debut for the club a day later in a 2–1 away defeat to Crawley Town.[6] Long made four further appearances including three in League Two and one in the FA Cup before having his loan extended on 16 November 2015 until 2 January 2016, continuing to cover for Stephen O'Donnell who was recovering from a double hernia injury.[7] He returned to Reading on 5 January 2016 after making 11 appearances for the club in all competitions.[8]

On 15 March 2016, Long signed for National League club Braintree Town on loan until the end of the season.[9] He made his debut for the club on the same day in a 0–0 draw with Gateshead.[10] Long made nine league appearances for Braintree,[11] helping them to secure a place in the National League play-offs after a 3–0 home win over Altrincham on 30 April 2016 and would face Grimsby Town in the semi-finals over two legs.[12] He featured in the semi-final first leg as Braintree earned a 1–0 away win to gain a slender advantage over their opponents.[13] Long featured again in the semi-final second leg, as Braintree were defeated 2–0 after extra-time and 2–1 on aggregate, ending their hopes of promotion.[14]

On 9 May 2016, Long was one of 15 Reading youth-team players offered a new contract by the club.[15]

International career

Long has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 level.[16] Long was called up to the under-21's for the first time in May 2015,[17] along with Reading team mates Pierce Sweeney and Shane Griffin.
