Jonathan Greening

Jonathan Greening (born 2 January 1979) is an English footballer who plays for Barnsley on loan from Nottingham Forest as a midfielder.

Greening began his career in 1996 with York City, but moved to Manchester United in 1998, with whom he won the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League as a non-playing substitute in the Final. However, he failed to make a breakthrough in the Manchester United first team and followed United assistant manager Steve McClaren to Middlesbrough in 2001. During his time at Middlesbrough, Greening earned his first call-up to the England national team, but he did not make an appearance. In 2004, he joined West Bromwich Albion for £1.25 million, and, in 2008, captained the team to the Football League Championship title. After West Brom turned down an offer from Fulham for Greening in July 2009, the two sides agreed a loan move the following month.
