Encyclopedic overview

Philip Nikodem Jagielka (/jəˈɡjɛlkə/ yə-GYEL-kə or /ˌdʒæɡiˈɛlkə/ JAG-ee-EL-kə;, Polish: Filip Jagiełka; born 17 August 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. He is primarily known for his lengthy tenures at Sheffield United and Everton.

Jagielka came up through the youth ranks at Sheffield United from 1998 to 2000, where he made his first-team debut in the latter year. He helped them achieve top-flight status for the 2006–07 season. When Sheffield United were relegated, Jagielka joined Everton for a £4 million fee in 2007. He later captained the club from 2013 to 2019, and totalled 385 games. He left Everton in July 2019 after 12 years and returned to former club Sheffield United. He had brief stints at Championship clubs Derby County and Stoke City before retiring in 2023 at the age of 41.
