Cyrus Christie

Cyrus Sylvester Frederick Christie (born 30 September 1992) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for EFL League One club Bolton Wanderers. He is a Republic of Ireland international.

Christie was born in Coventry, West Midlands. He is a nephew of the late boxer Errol Christie. Christie is Jamaican on his father's side, and his mother is Lebanese-French and Palestinian. Christie holds Jamaican, French and Lebanese citizenship from his parents.

Christie made his first-team debut for Championship club Coventry City against Morecambe on 10 August 2010, in a 2–0 away defeat in the League Cup.

He joined Conference North club Nuneaton Town on loan in January 2011, but was recalled by Coventry after two starts and three substitute appearances. He then went on a 'work experience' loan to another Conference North club Hinckley United, in February 2011, where he made eight appearances.

After Coventry's first league win of the 2011–12 season, a 2–0 home win against Derby County, Christie made it into the Championship Team of the Week.[citation needed] The following season, he was in the League One side of the week after putting a man of the match performance against Leyton Orient.[citation needed] The following game on 3 November, in the first round of the FA Cup, he scored his first goal in a 3–0 win against Arlesey Town and was praised by manager Mark Robins. On 8 December he scored his first league goal in a 5–1 home win over Walsall.

In 2012, Coventry were relegated to League One.[citation needed]

On 10 July 2014, Christie returned to the Championship on a three-year contract at Derby County. He was out of contract at Coventry, but the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for the player since he came through Coventry's academy and was under 23 years old.

Christie made his debut against Rotherham United on 9 August, where he provided an assist for goalscorer Jeff Hendrick in a 1–0 home victory. On 20 February 2016, he scored his first Rams goal in his 74th appearance, a 3–1 win at Brentford. His short-range strike with seven minutes remaining was his first club goal since March 2013 and ended an eight-game winless run at the start of the year.
