Sean Gregan (born 29 March 1974 in Guisborough) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Oldham Athletic after signing a 2 and a half year contract on 09/01/2007.
Gregan, a defender/midfielder, has played in all of the top four leagues in England. He was signed for Leeds from West Bromwich Albion by manger Kevin Blackwell.
He started his career with Darlington where he played for five years before joining Preston North End. He captained Preston to the then Nationwide Division 2 (Now League 1) title. He was signed by Gary Peters on 29 November 1996 for £350,000. While at Preston he played 255 games, scoring 15 goals and was twice named as the club's official player of the year. Preston's fans nicknamed him God because of his no-nonsense defending and his influence on the players, fans and staff at the club.
Gregan has had a mixed stint at Leeds United, with some inconsistent performances in his favoured midfield position, however has also commanded some excellent displays at centre-back, with a no-nonsense approach to which he became accustomed to at West Brom.
His lack of first team football in the 2006-07 season due to the good form of other defenders Matthew Kilgallon, Paul Butler and Matt Heath saw him being sent on a two month loan on 3 January 2007 to League One outfit, Oldham Athletic [1]. His loan deal expired on January 2, 2007. Gregan was released from his Leeds contract two days later.
After a successful loan spell Gregan signed a two and a half year contract at Oldham Athletic after being released by Leeds.
