Kian Thomas Flanagan (born 29 August 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. Born in England, he has represented Ireland at youth level.
Career
Club
Flanagan began his youth career with Southend United, moving to Crystal Palace in 2013, aged 13, for a fee of £37,500. In 2016, on his 17th birthday, he signed a two-year professional contract with the Eagles. In 2018–19, he won the club's young player of the season award, and saw his contract extended by a further year in 2019. In September 2019, Flanagan expressed his frustration at not having yet had a loan spell away from the club. Later that month, Flanagan went on trial at Doncaster Rovers with a view to a loan move in January. Manager Darren Moore was impressed by Flanagan, but no loan move materialised. He was named on Palace's released list at the end of the 2019–20 season, but remained with the club the following season before being released in the summer of 2021.
In July 2021, Flanagan signed for National League club Barnet. He joined Cheshunt on loan in September 2022. Following defeat in the play-offs, he was released by Barnet at the end of the 2022–23 season.
International
Flanagan is eligible for England and also the Republic of Ireland, who he has represented at under-17, under-18, and under-19 level.
