John Stones (born 28 May 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Manchester City and the England national team. Mainly a centre-back, he can also play as a central defensive midfielder or right-back. Widely regarded as one of the best defenders in world football, Stones is celebrated for his technical ability and his physical presence on the field.

Stones began his career with Barnsley, making his first-team debut in the Championship in March 2012, before joining Premier League club Everton for around £3 million in January 2013. In August 2016, he signed for Manchester City for an initial £47.5 million with add-ons. With the club, he won five Premier League titles, two EFL Cups, two FA Cups, and the UEFA Champions League as part of a historic continental treble in the 2022–23 season.

He made his senior debut for England in 2014 and was chosen in England's squads for the UEFA European Championship in 2016 and 2020, and the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and 2022.
