Ian Harte (born August 31, 1977 in Drogheda) is an international footballer for the Republic of Ireland national football team currently playing for Levante UD.
Harte joined Leeds United from Irish club Home Farm in 1995. He played for Leeds for nine seasons and was an integral part of their team alongside his uncle Gary Kelly. He is also a proficient penalty taker, and has scored from several set pieces for the Republic of Ireland. Levante signed him from Leeds United in 2004. He has a cracking left foot and has scored many fantastic left footed free-kicks.
Harte has played for the Republic of Ireland on 64 occasions, scoring 14 goals. He was handed his international debut in 1996 against Croatia having made just four appearances for Leeds and earned a regular starting berth for the 1998 World Cup qualifying campaign.
However, as his club career flourished post 1998, he found himself out of the reckoning at international level though he returned for the 2002 World Cup qualifiers and was the only player to play every minute as Ireland reached the World Cup for the first time in eight years. He also notched up three goals during the campaign — from left back — including a penalty against Iran in the play-off though he struggled at the World Cup because of a toe injury and the emergence of John O'Shea restricted his appearances under Brian Kerr.
He was recalled to the team for the home match against Israel on March 26, 2005 and the away game in the Faroe Islands three days later. Harte scored in both games, which marked his return to the Irish senior football set-up.
He is married to Laura and they have two daughters, Kaia (4) and Lily (5 Months), together.
