Where is Garry Flitcroft now?
After a long Premier League career, Blackburn Rovers legend Garry Flitcroft was forced to retire in 2006 after a lack of form and persistent injuries whilst playing for Sheffield United.
Coming through the youth ranks at Manchester City and making his professional debut in 1991, he went onto make nearly 400 appearances over his 15-year career for just four clubs winning Player of the Year at City in 1993 as well as the League Cup with Blackburn in 2002.
He was also an England under-21 international, winning 10 caps in 1993.
Upon retiring from playing Flitcroft went into non-league management, with Leigh Genesis and then with their rivals Chorley where he teamed up with former Blackburn Rovers team mate Matt Jansen
The pair enjoyed huge success at the club taking them up two divisions to the Conference North but he stepped down from his role in 2015 for family and business reasons and moved upstairs in a director role.
After buying four houses with his first signing-on fee at Manchester City, he built up a large portfolio of properties, eventually setting up an eco-friendly timber frame housing business.
Unfortunately the company entered into administration in early 2017 but Flitcroft bought the company out in May of that year and continued trading. The company has since gone from strength to strength and are now building homes across Europe.
He now works alongside former team-mate David Dunn who has joined the company as a business consultant.
