Stones began his career at Barnsley, making his senior debut in 2012. In January 2013, he joined Everton, where he made 95 appearances over four seasons. His performances earned him a move to Manchester City in 2016 for a reported £47.5 million, making him one of the most expensive defenders at the time.
At Manchester City, Stones has been instrumental in the club’s success. As of the 2024-2025 season, he has won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups, and the UEFA Champions League as part of the historic treble in the 2022-2023 season.

Stones is celebrated for his versatility, often playing as a defensive midfielder when required. Standing at 1.88 meters (6 feet 2 inches), he combines physical presence with excellent ball-playing skills. Despite facing injuries in recent seasons, he remains a key figure for both club and country.
With his contract at Manchester City running until 2026, Stones continues to be a vital player, contributing to one of the most dominant teams in modern football.
