About Anthony Stokes

  • Anthony Stokes (born 25 July 1988) is an Irish professional footballer who most recently played for Turkish club Adana Demirspor as a striker.
  • He was also an Irish international, having played at the under-21, team B and Republic of Ireland national football team. Stokes began his senior career with Arsenal, but established himself with a successful loan spell with Falkirk in 2006, scoring 14 goals in 16 SPL games.
  • Stokes then signed for Sunderland in a £2 million deal, but he struggled to hold down a place in the Sunderland first team. He moved back to Scottish football when Hibernian signed him for £500,000 in August 2009.
  • He again enjoyed success in the SPL, scoring over 20 goals in his only full season with Hibs.
  • Stokes moved to boyhood heroes Celtic shortly after the start of the following season, for a fee of around £1.2 million.
