Nicky Francis Bailey (born 10 June 1984) is a retired English professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He has played for the England C national team.
Club career
Early career and Barnet
Bailey, born in Putney, London,[2] began his career with local team Fulham but was released and moved to non-league Sutton United where he played as a teenager.[3] At twenty, he went to Conference side Barnet in 2004 for a tribunal fee of £10,000.
Bailey was Paul Fairclough's first signing as Barnet manager, and he immediately established himself as a regular for the club.
Bailey made his Barnet debut against
Southend United
After attracting interest from several clubs during the January
Charlton Athletic
Charlton Athletic were relegated from the championship after finishing at the bottom of the table, despite Bailey finishing as top scorer. He was voted the club's player of the season.
On 26 April 2010 it was announced that Bailey was in the 2009–10 PFA team of the year alongside teammate Frazer Richardson.
Middlesbrough
On 19 June 2010 the BBC claimed that Middlesbrough F.C. were set to sign Bailey for a fee of £1.4m. The deal was confirmed by both clubs on 24 June 2010, and Bailey was officially announced as a Middlesbrough player on 8 July.[4] Bailey had a difficult start as a Middlesbrough player, however under new manager Tony Mowbray, Bailey was converted to a more defensive minded midfielder and became popular with the fans. His ongoing impressive form led to Bailey being nominated for the Championship player of the month in December 2011.
Bailey scored his first goal for Middlesbrough against Burnley on 10 September 2011.[5] Bailey then scored again in Middlesbrough's 2–1 home win against Southampton. Bailey scored on 21 August 2012, his third goal for Boro, again against Burnley in a 3–2 home win. Following injuries to Rhys Williams and Jonathan Woodgate, Bailey captained Boro three times in the 2012–13 season. Bailey's fourth Boro goal was a spectacular long shot in a 2–1 home defeat to Leicester City. At the end of the 2012–13 season Bailey's contract expired.
Millwall
Bailey joined Millwall on a two-year deal in July 2013.[6] He suffered numerous injuries during his two years with the club, limiting him to 39 appearances. He was released at the end of the 2014–15 season following Millwall's relegation to League One.[7]
Barnet
Bailey started training with Barnet in October 2015,[8] and re-signed on a short-term deal later in the month.[9] On 23 December, Bailey was released after only four appearances.[10]
Sutton United
At the end of his contract with Barnet, Bailey re-signed for

Bailey appeared for Sutton during their historic run to the 5th round of the FA Cup for the first time ever, including a 1–0 victory over Championship club Leeds United on 29 January 2017 and 0–2 defeat to Premier League club Arsenal on 20 February, where he made more tackles and interceptions than any other player.[18][19]
On 4 March, Bailey was instrumental in helping Sutton to secure their first away clean sheet back in the non-League top flight, a 0–0 draw at Barrow, since a 9–0 away victory against Gateshead on 22 September 1990.[20][21] Bailey featured the following day in The Non-League Paper's team of the day. Across three-and-a-half seasons, Bailey played 125 times for Sutton in his second spell, scoring nine goals.
Later career
Bailey followed Sutton manager Paul Doswell to Havant & Waterlooville for the 2019–20 season.[22] He joined Gosport Borough on 19 September 2020.[23] In September 2021 he joined Cray Wanderers.[24]
