Kevin Stephen Toner (born 18 July 1996) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Orihuela in the Segunda Federación.
Toner joined the Aston Villa academy in 2012 from Home Farm having earlier played for his hometown club Ashbourne United.
[6] On 23 April 2016, Toner made his senior début for already-relegated Aston Villa, coming on as a second-half substitute for Micah Richards in a Premier League match against Southampton.
[15] Since making his debut for the club, Toner quickly established himself in the starting eleven, playing in the centre-back position and was praised by his teammate, James O'Connor for his performance.
[18] Several weeks after leaving Walsall, Toner signed on loan for Bradford City on transfer deadline day, 31 January 2017, alongside Charlie Wyke, Jacob Hanson and Matt Penney.
It was announced on 20 December 2017 that Toner had left Villa and returned home to Ireland, signing a two-year contract with St Patrick's Athletic ahead of the 2018 season.
[29] Toner scored on his debut in a 3–1 win away to Bray Wanderers in the Leinster Senior Cup, heading home a Conan Byrne cross.
[30] Toner's league debut was an eventful one, with Pat's 2–0 down, he was on the receiving end of an elbow to the face from Cork City striker Graham Cummins after 26 minutes, which resulted in a red card that changed the game.
[35] Toner announced on 26 October 2019 via his Instagram account that he would be leaving the Saints after his contract had expired, amidst reports of a falling out with new manager Stephen O'Donnell.
[37] After his very short spell of non league football in Ireland which ended before he made an appearance due Toner's job seeing him move to Spain, it was announced on 17 September 2020 that he had signed for Segunda División B side CF La Nucía.
[40] Born in Ashbourne, County Meath, Ireland,[5] His family comes from a sporting background: his uncle, Mark Dwyer, was a Gold Cup winning jockey; his father, Brendan, was a footballer for Mansfield Town; and his mother was a golfer, who plays "at a seven handicap".
