Dylan Duffy (born 28 November 2002) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Chesterfield.

Career

After playing for Shamrock Rovers and University College Dublin,[1][2][3][4] Duffy signed for English club Lincoln City in January 2023.[5][6][7][8][9]

Having been injured when he signed for the club,[10] he made his debut for Lincoln on 25 March 2023, coming on as a substitute for Danny Mandroiu in the 79th minute of a 2–1 league defeat to Fleetwood Town.[11] He scored his first goal for the Imps away to Wycombe Wanderers on 22 April 2023.[12]

On 27 January 2025, Duffy joined Chesterfield on loan for the remainder of the season.[13][14] On 31 January, after one appearance, the move was made permanent with Duffy signing a two-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.[15]

International career

He was called up to the Republic of Ireland U21 for the first time on 6 June 2023 with Lincoln City teammate Sean Roughan.[16] Duffy made his Republic of Ireland U21 debut on 16 June 2023, in a 2–2 draw with Ukraine U21 in a friendly played in Bad Blumau, Austria.[17]

Betting offences

On 11 July 2024, it was revealed that Duffy had been charged by the Football Association with multiple alleged breaches of its gambling laws.[18] On 26 September 2024, he was fined £4,000 of which half was suspended for 12 months, having admitted to the charge at the first opportunity and also being fully co-operative throughout the investigation with the Football Association.[19]
