Club Career

Club(s) Began as a West Bromwich Albion FC trainee, signing professional forms on 13 July 1989, and made only two substitute league appearances before Aston Villa FC signed him for £40,000 on 12 July 1991. Despite fracturing his eye socket in February 1999, he went on to play 237 league appearances and score twelve goals. Ehiogu then joined Middlesbrough FC for £8 million on 20 October 2000, where he made a further 126 league appearances, scoring seven goals. Towards the end of his time at The Riverside, he joined Leeds United AFC on 23 November 2006 on loan for six league appearances, scoring once. In the January 2006 transfer window, Ehiogu had agreed to rejoin West Bromwich Albion FC, but this was cancelled after numerous Boro players became injured.  After returning to Middlesbrough from Leeds, his contract was cancelled and he signed for Rangers FC on 25 January 2007. He went on to play nine SPL matches, scoring once against The Celtic FC, earning himself the Rangers Goal of the Season. He was released from his contract the following January, whereupon he signed for Sheffield United FC on 18 January 2008, where he went onto play 29 league matches, scoring once, before being released from his contract again. After a trial with MK Dons FC in August 2009, Ehiogu announced his retirement.
