Peter Sweeney (born 25 September 1984 in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional football midfielder currently playing for Leeds United in League One of the Football League.
[edit] Career
Sweeney started his career at Millwall, where he made his debut in 2002, but he had to wait another year for his big breakthrough. He ultimately played a major role in the Lions' route to the final of the FA Cup, where he started against Manchester United. During his time at Millwall Sweeney won six caps for Scotland at Under-21 level.
On 1 July 2005 Sweeney signed for Stoke City for £250,000, but his debut match against Newcastle Town was ruined as he got injured early into the game and was out for three months. On 31 January 2007 (transfer deadline day) Sweeney joined Yeovil Town on loan and returned to Stoke at the end of March at his request.
On 22 November 2007 he signed a two-month loan deal at Walsall[1] and he returned to Stoke upon the expiration of his loan. Early in the January 2008 transfer window Stoke accepted an undisclosed bid for the midfielder from Leeds United, with whom he swiftly agreed personally terms, and it was announced that he would sign, subject to a medical the following week.[2][3] He finalised the move on 10 January, joining the club on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[4] Despite starting in the last few games of Dennis Wise's reign as Leeds manager, Sweeney has failed to established himself under new manager [[Gary McAllister].
