Aden Flint (born 11 July 1989) is an English professional footballer for Swindon Town, who plays as a defender. Flint was previously with Alfreton Town and has represented England C national football team.
Playing career
Alfreton Town
Flint began his career in the Central Midlands Football League with Pinxton before stepping up to the Conference North in the summer of 2008 when he joined Alfreton Town.[1]
Flint spent three months of his debut season at Alfreton on loan with Northern Premier League Premier Division side Matlock Town. The adverse weather prevented Flint from playing many games but the central defender scored in the 5–0 victory over Leigh Genesis in January 2010.[2] The following month saw Flint play in the 1–1 draw against Ilkeston Town,[3] and scored an own goal in the 2–0 loss at Whitby Town.[4] On 26 February 2009, Matlock manager Mark Atkins confirmed that Flint was among three players to have departed the club along with goalkeeper Andy Richmond and forward Simon Barraclough.[5]
Flint spent the rest of his Alfreton career within its first team set-up helping reach the Play-Offs during the 2009–10 season. He impressed many visiting scouts with bids being turned down from Derby County, Luton Town and ten other clubs according to Alfreton chairman, Wayne Bradley.[6]
Swindon Town
In January 2010, Colchester United manager John Ward confirmed that his club had been in talks with Flint over a move to the Essex club. Ward also announced that Flint was scheduled to travel to Wiltshire the next day to discuss a possible move with Swindon Town with Danny Wilson.[7]
Days later Swindon Town announced the signing of Flint on a two-and-a-half year contract and was issued the number 16 shirt which had been recently made available after the departure of on-loan Manchester City forward David Ball.[8]
Flint made his Swindon debut in the 1-1 draw with Rochdale and featured in the following fixture against Leyton Orient which resulted in a 3-0 loss for the Wiltshire club.
In March 2011, Flint returned to Alfreton Town on a loan until the end of the 2010/11 season. New Swindon manager Paul Hart was impressed with Flint's attitude in training but had decided to select more experienced players such as Andrew Frampton instead.[9] Upon rejoining Alfreton, Flint was immediately handed the captaincy and led the club to promotion from the Conference North.
International career
Flint's form at Alfreton Town during the early 2010–11 campaign earned him his first international call-up when Paul Fairclough named his within his 16-man England C squad for the friendly with Wales national semi-professional football team. He played the first 45 minutes in the 2–2 draw at Latham Park in Newtown, Wales.[10]
Flint was capped for a second and final time in October, 2010 when he played the entire 90 minutes of England C's 1–0 away win at the Kadriorg Stadium, Tallinn against an Estonia U-23's in the International Challenge Trophy.[11]
When Flint signed for Swindon Town in January 2011, he became ineligible for selection for the England C squad so was unable to make the final squad for the International Challenge Trophy.[12]
