Joseph Anthony "Joey" Barton (/ˈdʒoʊiː ˈbɑrtən/; born 2 September 1982) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Championship club Burnley. He has made 240 appearances in the Premier League, including 130 for Manchester City.

He was born and raised in Huyton, Merseyside. He began his football career with Manchester City in 2002 after working his way through their youth system. His appearances in the senior side gradually increased over the following five years and he made more than 150 for the club. He earned his first cap for the England national team in February 2007, despite his criticism of some of the team's players. He then joined Newcastle United for a fee of £5.8 million in July 2007. After four years with the club, he joined Queens Park Rangers in August 2011, from where he was loaned to Marseille in 2012. He returned from his loan spell the following season, and helped QPR to promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs. However, QPR were relegated again, and Barton was released at the end of the season. He later signed a one-year deal to play for Burnley.
