Description

Kevin Finbarr Long (born 18 August 1990) is an Irish professional footballer who plays for Major League Soccer club Toronto FC and the Republic of Ireland national team.
He plays mainly as a centre back but can also fill in at full back.

Long came through the Cork City youth structure, before signing on professional terms in January 2008. He captained Cork City Youths successful FAI Youth Cup and Munster Cup teams in 2009. Shortly after, the centre half made his senior City debut away to St Patricks Athletic coming on as a second half substitute. Long then made his first senior start on 19 July 2009 in a home friendly against Ipswich Town, partnering Dan Murray in defence.

It was reported that Long travelled over to Preston North End for a trial, but whilst there, there was interest from League 1 sides Leeds United and Charlton Athletic and Premier League side Burnley.

He scored his first goal for Burnley in a 4-3 FA Cup defeat at Southampton on 4 January 2014. On 1 January 2015, Long made his Premier League debut with Burnley in a 3–3 draw away to Newcastle United. He replaced the injured Jason Shackell in the 17th minute, but 20 minutes later was replaced by Steven Reid after suffering an injury of his own, becoming the third Burnley player to be taken off injured in the match at St James' Park.

In November 2015, after regaining full fitness following his cruciate knee injury, he joined League One side Barnsley on a one-month loan deal. He scored a late winner against Oldham Athletic on his debut to help his side to a 2-1 win. However in his second game he was sent off against Peterborough United.
