Shane Patrick Michael Duffy (born 1 January 1992) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for EFL Championship club Norwich City and the Republic of Ireland national team.

Duffy came through the youth academy at Everton, where he completed his development after being promoted into the senior squad, spending most of his time at the club out on loan. He joined Blackburn Rovers in 2014 for an undisclosed fee, spending two years with the Lancashire club before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion in 2016, where he earned promotion to the Premier League. He spent the 2020–21 season on loan at Celtic where he won the delayed 2020 Scottish Cup final.

Duffy played for Northern Ireland at youth international level before switching allegiance to the Republic of Ireland.[2] Duffy made his debut for the senior side in 2014, representing the country at UEFA Euro 2016 and has gone on to earn over 60 caps to date.
