David Bell (b. 21 January 1984, Kettering) is an English-born Irish professional footballer. He currently plays for Luton Town F.C. as a midfielder. He previously played for Rushden & Diamonds, where he was a largely popular figure, and also had a brief trial with Middlesbrough F.C..
He is a midfielder who has played mostly in the center and on the right side during the 2006/07 season for Luton. Luton have high hopes for David, and he has performed admirably during a difficult season, so well in fact that he was given a contract extension, running through to 2010.
At the end of season awards, David won the Internet Player Of The Season and Young Supporters Player Of The Season - an achievement few fans believed possible at the start of the season, as Bell had not even broken into the starting lineup yet at the season's beginning.
The 2006/07 season was very much a breakthrough season for him as he went from a squad player at Luton to one of the club's key players under Mike Newell and Kevin Blackwell. Many Luton fans believe Bell will one day play for the Republic of Ireland.
